• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add almonds and half the Shawarma Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in rice, half the stock concentrates, 3/4 cup water (11/2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 5.

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then rub all over with remaining Shawarma Spice. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside to rest.

• While chicken cooks, wash and dry produce. • Quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Quarter tomatoes. Quarter lemon. • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired.

• Return pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add jam, remaining stock concentrates, and 1/4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until just thickened, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and hot sauce to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1/2 TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings). Season generously with salt and pepper.

• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, rice, and salad between plates. Drizzle sauce over chicken. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
