- Add chicken thighs to a bowl with olive oil, shawarma seasoning, salt and pepper, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and red onion. Mix well to coat and combine completely. You can ideally let this marinate in the fridge for 2-6 hours (even better overnight), but you can make it right away.
- If marinated, remove the chicken from the fridge, and allow to come to room temperature (about 30 mins). Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Layer and pack the marinated chicken tightly into a bread loaf pan. Bake the oven for 45-55 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, and carefully pour out the excess juices. You can always save this to use as a flavorful broth!
- Flip the loaf pan onto a cutting board to remove the chicken. Cut it into thin slices or strips.
- Make the bowls by assembling all of the ingredients - Romaine, rice, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley, dill, feta, and dips of choice - hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki, etc. Enjoy!
