Chicken Shawarma Plate Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and yogurt. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Prepare the Rice

   Cook rice according to package instructions. For added flavor, cook it in chicken broth instead of water.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, combine diced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Plate

   On a plate, serve a portion of rice, sliced chicken, and a side of salad. Optionally, drizzle with tahini or garlic sauce.
