CHICKEN SHAWARMA CHICKEN SALAD

This is the perfect high protein food thats, low carb and brings tons of flavor. Its got all the flavors of one of my favorite meals, a little tangy, and actually fills you up. Simple ingredients, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, and meals that keep me on track without ever feeling like a diet.

You have scoop this over sourdough, pita, lavash, or over some bell peppers, cucumbers, or lowcarb bread if you are watching your carbs.

Here is how I made it:

1. I used 1.5 lbs of chicken, you can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or use any cut you want. To make it from scratch, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tbsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp and a couple generous pinches of salt. Add 1 tbsp yogurt and the juice of a lemon. Mix well and let marinate ideally 2-3 hrs if you can, or you can move forward right away.

2.Bake, air fry, or sear and finish in the oven at 400 degrees for 37 to 40 mins or until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing or dicing.

3.While the chicken cooks, make the salad base. I used 2 thinly shredded romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup of dill pickles, finely chopped, a very large handful chopped parsley. You can add thinly sliced radishes or shredded cabbage if you want extra crunch.

4.You can use pickled turnips or red onion here. To make my express pickled onions I just finely diced a medium red onion and added it to a bowl with the juice of a lemon, a couple pinches salt and 1/2 tbsp sumac. Mix a couple times over 5 mins.

5.For the yogurt sauce, process 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream, 3 tbsp mayo, the juice of 1 lemon, 3 garlic cloves, 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, a tiny pinch cumin, and a couple pinches salt.

6.Poir the yogurt sauce over everything and toss well. Serve over your favorite bread or vessel. Finish with lemon wedges, crumbled feta, and extra herbs to take it to the top.

Send to someone you would crush this with, and let me know on SHREDHAPPENS what you think!

ENJOY.
