Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Appetizers/Salads

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare two appetizers or salads of your choice. A classic option is to serve with tabbouleh and hummus, or a simple cucumber and tomato salad.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and serve on a plate alongside your chosen appetizers or salads. Enjoy your Chicken Shawarma Plate!
