Chicken Shawarma
Chicken Shawarma is a Middle Eastern chicken recipe that is healthy, juicy and bursting with exotic flavors that will have you drooling. The tenderizing lemon juice, a plethora of hand-picked spices and my secret ingredient all work together to create the most dynamic chicken you ever tasted. Chicken Shawarma is usually cooked on a rotating spit but we achieve the irresistible charred effect by grilling the chicken instead – but I’ve also included instructions on how to bake the chicken as well – whatever is easiest for you! My step-by-step tutorial and video (below) show you exactly how to make the chicken marinade and how to turn it into Chicken Shawarma Wraps or Bowls with roasted vegetables - all complete with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce OR Green Tahini! This Chicken Shawarma recipe is excellent for meal prep, make ahead lunch/dinners, entertaining and leftovers – all instructions included.
