Shawarma spiced chicken with Persian salad cauliflower rice & creamy dill sauce

2 servings prepared 

Here's what you get:


Chicken cutlet 
Yogurt 
Shawarma spice blend 
Garlic powder 
Persian cucumber 
Roma tomato 
Lemon 
Shallot 
Dill 
Sour cream 

Not used:
Jasmine rice 

Substitute:
Cauliflower 

The salad:

 The ingredients were prepped by: dicing the cucumber, tomato, chopping the fronds of Dill, slicing half the shallot and having the lemon. The veggies and half of the dill were combined with avocado oil and lemon juice. After mixing well they we're finished off with salt and pepper before setting aside.


The protein:

After patting the Chicken dry some avocado oil, garlic powder and shawarma spice were added to half of the yogurt and mixed well. The chicken was then coated in this mixture. 

The chicken was then cooked in a pan for five minutes per side until done and then transfered it to a cutting board to rest.

The cauliflower rice:

To prepare the cauliflower rice the cauliflower with steamed for 12 minutes and then broken up using a potato masher. No additional salt or pepper was used here.

The sauce:

To make the sauce the rest of the sour cream was combined with the lemon zest, dill and yogurt. A little bit of water was added until the sauce reached a drizzling consistency. It was then finished with salt and pepper.

The plate:


The only thing that would have made this dish better would be to grill the chicken instead of cooking it in a pan. The salad was great too, the trade-off of rice for cauliflower would have allowed me to use a bigger piece of chicken if I wanted. Which is exactly what I'll do if I recreate this one sometime.

Sweet potato  Kale  Italian chicken sausage mix  Chili flake  Yellow onion  Italian seasoning  Chicken stock concentrate  Parmesan cheese  Not used: Demi baguette  The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through.  Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth.
