Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add 1 pound of chicken, coat thoroughly, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cups of cooled, cooked rice and cook for 5-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Wash and chop the vegetables: dice 1 cucumber, halve 1 cup of tomatoes, and slice 1/2 red onion. Combine with fresh parsley in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, juice of 1 lemon, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Adjust with water until creamy.
- On a serving platter, layer the crispy rice, top with sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and drizzle with tahini dressing.

Notes
For the best flavor, chill the tahini dressing for 15 minutes and ensure rice is cooled completely before crisping. Store salad components separately for freshness.
