Description

This easy chicken shawarma is broiled in the oven and served with a tangy white sauce. 

Ingredients
    Marinade
  • 1 tbsp Sumac
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
    • White Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Sumac
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
  1. 1
    Marinade the chicken

    In a small bowl combine all the marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a large bowl or ziploc bag and pour over the marinade. Thoroughly mix to evenly coat all the chicken. Place in the fridge overnight for the flavors to fully develop. 

  2. 2
    Make the White Sauce

    Combine the yogurt, garlic, sumac and cayenne and lemon juice. Add water to thin out the sauce, starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more to get the desired consistency. 

  3. 3
    Broil the Chicken

    Place chicken on a foil lined baking sheet on the top rack. Broil for 6 minutes on each side. The chicken is done when the outside is dark and edges start to get charred and internal temperature is 165 F.

    Remove from oven, cut, and serve with pita, white sauce and your favorite toppings! 

    Broiling the chicken will give it a smoky bbq flavor.
