In a large bowl, combine olive oil, neutral oil, vinegar, harissa, salt, allspice, garlic, onion powder, citric acid, paprika, chili flakes, black pepper, and oregano.
Add chicken breast and thighs to the marinade and mix thoroughly until fully coated.
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor.
Cook the marinated chicken on a flat top, grill, or large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Cool the cooked chicken completely before portioning.
For the tzatziki sauce, combine lebna with cucumber and garlic in a bowl.
Season the tzatziki sauce lightly with salt, add dill, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Chill before serving.
To assemble the bowl, place a base of white rice, topped with chicken shawarma and tzatziki sauce. Optionally, add cucumbers, tomatoes, and pickles.
