👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Turmeric glow: ground turmeric provides natural golden color and anti-inflammatory curcumin.
  • Keep hummus cool: using divided containers prevents hummus from melting when reheating chicken.
  • Pickled upgrade: add pickled red onions or turnip spears for authentic shawarma tang.
