Instructions

Step 1/4

Marinate Chicken

In a bowl, combine thinly sliced chicken breast with lemon juice, low-fat Greek yogurt, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 2/4

Cook Rice

In a separate pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground cumin, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the uncooked washed rice to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Take it off heat and let it cool for 10 minutes, fluffing with a fork.

Step 3/4

Cook Chicken and Make White Sauce

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken slices to the skillet and cook until they are cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. In a bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, dill, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4/4

Assemble and Serve

To assemble, divide the seasoned rice and cooked chicken between serving plates. Top with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced cucumber. Drizzle white sauce over the top and add hot sauce if desired. Serve hot.
