Notes
Leftovers will be good in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.
This is my fave pre-cooked chicken with shawarma spice.
If you can't find a product like this, rotisserie chicken works great too.
For perfect basmati rice, I rinse my rice and then soak it in a bowl of water (keep in the strainer) for about 5 or 10 minutes.
Any veggies will do so put in whatever you have: snow peas, baby carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc.
