Ingredients

  • 500g of chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  5. Add the cooked chicken on top of the rice and drizzle generously with the tahini sauce.
