Marinate the diced chicken with black pepper, salt, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic paste. Mix well to coat.
In a large pan or skillet, cook the marinated chicken over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through.
To the same pan, add the boiling water, 1 tablespoon of paprika, chicken bouillon cubes, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric. Stir to combine.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then add the rice. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
While the rice cooks, prepare the white sauce. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, black pepper, salt, sugar, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
To serve, place a layer of rice in each bowl. Top with the cooked chicken, chopped lettuce, and tomato. Add cucumbers if desired.
Drizzle the white sauce generously over the bowls and enjoy.
Store cooked chicken and rice separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water and assemble fresh bowls with white sauce.
The chicken is seasoned with cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, plus garlic paste, salt, and black pepper for warm, layered flavor.
Cook the chicken and rice in advance and store separately, then assemble fresh. Keep the white sauce refrigerated and add just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Long-grain white rice or basmati rice works well; cook it plain or with a pinch of salt to let the spiced chicken shine.
Yes, Greek yogurt creates a thicker, tangier sauce; thin it with a splash of water or lemon juice if needed.
The spice level is moderate; chili powder and paprika add warmth without intense heat, balanced by the cooling white sauce and fresh vegetables.
