Trader Joe’s chicken shawarma sheet pan meal – baked chicken shawarma, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato with brown rice and lemon yogurt sauce.
I love an easy Trader Joe’s meal. They’re marinated meat selection is perfect for creating an easy at home meal without putting too much thought or work into it. My favorites are the chicken shawarma, harissa chicken, and balsamic rosemary steak tips. Then all you need is some veggies and a grain to put it all together. And you have yourself a meal.
This meal feels very light and nourishing. However, it is still very filling. There is protein, carbs, and veggies which results in a very satisfying dish. Also, the lemon yogurt dipping sauce is an absolute must. It’s creamy, zesty and the perfect touch for this bowl. These chicken shawarma thighs are convenient for week-night dinners. Also, for cooking ahead of time for meal prepped lunches. You can chop up the meat and add it to salads or soups. The instructions give a bake and grill option. I always bake mine and they come out super juicy, tender and full of flavor.

I roughly followed this recipe, but subbed cauliflower for the brussel sprouts. I also used extra veggies & no rice (because I’m lazy, not low carb, ha.). It was great! The yogurt sauce was only so-so. I felt it was a little too tart, and remebering some past Blue Apron recipes that make similar sauces but call for creme fraiche, I added a dollop of sour cream to it to help make it creamier. It would taste better if I subbed all or half of the yogurt for creme fraiche, which I might do next time. (I didn’t have any, only had sour cream on hand.)
