Chicken Shawarma

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once cooked.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and arrange it on a platter with the cooked rice and your choice of vegetables (like cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce). Optionally, serve with pita bread and tahini sauce.
