Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry produce.

    Quarter lemon. Thinly slice scallions. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.

  2. 2

    Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with Shawarma Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer chicken to a cutting board to cool.

  3. 3

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine apricots, juice from half the lemon, and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings).

    Cover bowl with plastic wrap; microwave until apricots are slightly softened and plump, 30-35 seconds.

  4. 4

    Roughly chop chicken into bite-size pieces if necessary.

    In a large bowl, combine chicken, scallions, apricots and their liquid, yogurt, mayonnaise, a drizzle of olive oil, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.

  5. 5

    Halve buns and toast until golden.

    Top each bottom bun with a few lettuce leaves and chicken salad; drizzle chicken salad with as much hot sauce as you like. Close sandwiches.

    Wipe out bowl used for chicken salad. Roughly chop remaining lettuce leaves and place in same bowl. Add juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings) and a large drizzle of olive oil; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Divide sandwiches and salad between plates. Serve.

    Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
