Chicken Shawarma

 Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Chicken Shawarma:


Ingredients:


For the Chicken Marinade:

• 500g boneless chicken thighs (or chicken breast)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 4 garlic cloves (minced)

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• 1 teaspoon ground paprika

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)

• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt (optional for extra tenderness)


For the Garlic Sauce (Tahini Sauce):

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons tahini (optional)

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 3-4 garlic cloves (minced)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)


For Serving:

• Pita bread, flatbreads, or tortillas

• Sliced onions, tomatoes, and cucumber

• Fresh parsley (optional)




Instructions:


1. Marinate the Chicken:

• In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom (if using), black pepper, salt, and yogurt (optional).

• Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat well.

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for the best flavor).


2. Cook the Chicken:


You can cook the chicken in a few different ways:

• Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). You can also cook it on a grill pan or outdoor barbecue.

• Pan-frying: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. You can also slice the chicken into strips for quicker cooking.

• Oven-baked: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.


3. Make the Garlic Sauce:

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, tahini (optional), lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt and pepper.

• Stir well and add water to adjust the consistency. It should be smooth and creamy.


4. Assemble the Shawarma:

• Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.

• Warm the pita bread or flatbread in the oven or on a pan.

• Place the chicken on the bread and drizzle with the garlic sauce.

• Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions for crunch and freshness. You can also garnish with fresh parsley.


5. Serve:

• Roll up the pita or flatbread, and your homemade chicken shawarma is ready to serve! Enjoy with some fries or a side salad if you like.




Tips:

• You can add a bit of chili or hot sauce to the garlic sauce for extra spice.

• If you don’t have a grill or pan, you can also cook the chicken in a broiler or air fryer for a crispy result.

• For a more authentic shawarma taste, consider using a shawarma spice mix, which can be found at most grocery stores or specialty markets.


Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken Shawarma!
