Ingredients
- 1 package Trader Joe's Shawarma Chicken Thighs about 4-5 thighs come in one package
- 2 packages of Trader Joe's frozen rice or 2-3 cups of cooked rice
- 1 12oz. container Trader Joe's tzatziki sauce See Note 1
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced (optional)
- juice from one lemon
- salt/pepper
Instructions
- Cook chicken: Place the shawarma chicken thighs in your air fryer. Try not to overlap, if possible. Air fry at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, until thighs are cooked through (at least 165°F). When the chicken is done cooking, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then dice it into small pieces. You can also cook your chicken thighs in the oven, in a skillet, or on the grill! Exact cooking instructions are in this post: How to Cook Trader Joe's Shawarma Chicken Thighs.
- Prep veggies & rice: While the chicken is cooking, dice up your cucumber, tomatoes, and onion (if using). Squeeze on some lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. If you are using Trader Joe's frozen microwave rice, pop that in the microwave for 3 minutes.
- Assemble: Divide cooked rice between four bowls/plates. Top with chicken, veggies, and a big dollop of tzatziki sauce!
Notes
Note 1: You can use Trader Joe's Garlic Spread Dip or Creamy Cucumber Dip in place of the tzatziki. Or you can make your own delicious tzatziki sauce!
Variation: Swap out the rice for a tortilla or pita bread and make wraps!
