Step 1
Slice 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips and toss with 2 tbsp shawarma seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 2
While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: whisk 3 tbsp tahini with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2-3 tbsp water until smooth and pourable. Add salt to taste.
Step 3
Divide 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, sliced cucumber, and any extras like tomato or parsley if you have them.
Step 4
Drizzle the tahini sauce over each bowl and serve with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing.
