Chicken Shawarma with Yogurt Sauce
Instructions
Prep:35min
In this healthy recipe, the key to cooking juicy chicken without a spit is high heat and dark meat. The yogurt in the marinade gives the chicken both its tender texture and its alluring char. More yogurt in the sauce, along with crunchy cucumbers and herbs, keeps the flavors bright.
