To cook the rice: Begin by making the rice. Wash the rice until it runs clear. Fill a medium saucepan with 1 3/4 cups water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the rice, stir, and wait until the water comes back to a full boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice covered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes turn off the heat and allow keep rice covered for 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes fluff rice with fork and keep warm until ready to serve.

To cook the chicken: While the rice is cooking, prepare and cook the chicken. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound to make them thinner. To a large bowl, add the chicken breasts, yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and spices; Mix until well combined. Heat a large heavy-duty pan over high heat. Add the chicken mixture to the pan and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes then cut into small bite-size pieces or slices.

To assemble: Combine all the ingredients for the salad in a medium bowl. Assemble the shawarma bowls by placing about 1/2 cup cooked rice in the bottom of a serving bowl. Top with sliced shawarma chicken, salad, hummus, feta, pickled onion, and a drizzle of the shawarma white sauce.
