Ingredient Notes
Chicken – I like boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Because they are very juicy azalea sauce. Shawarma Marinade Ingredients – For a smoky, spicy, and slightly salty flavor, the chicken marinates these seasonings: cumin, cayenne pepper, cilantro, black pepper, paprika, salt. Olive oil is added to help stick to chicken. Greek yogurt – this gives the chicken more sparkle and makes it even juicy and tender. Use high-fat yogurt if possible. Flavor Booster – Fresh garlic cloves and onions add extra flavor to these bowls. Vegetables – Lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers are perfect for flavors and textures that go well with chicken shawarma. Cheese – The feta cheese is salty and tangy, and has a distinctive, sharp flavor here that is delicious. Pita Bread – This is a great addition as you can stuff the ingredients from the bowl for a delicious bite.
Add-ins and replacements
Lighten – Use low-fat Greek yogurt to lighten the dish. Don’t worry, it may not be creamy, but it still helps to make the chicken juicy. It can also be used instead of Tzatziki. Try this recipe with chicken breast, steak, lamb or pork. Adds more flavor – the acidity of fresh lemon juice makes the meat even more tangy while still softening it. Or try other spices like cinnamon, turmeric, allspice, cardamom, etc. Change how you cook – You can cook the chicken in a cast iron pan on the stove or bake the oven if necessary.
How to make a chicken shawarma bowl
Make a marinade. Place the spices (cumin, cayenne pepper, cilantro, black pepper, paprika, salt), olive oil and Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything well. Add the chicken. Now, add the chicken thighs and use clean hands to mix the marinade into the chicken. Marinated. Cover it and marinate in the fridge for about 1-2 hours or overnight.
Pro Tip: Marinate overnight if possible. This really absorbs the flavor into the chicken, making it juicy and flavorful.
Preheat the grill. Heat the grill to medium height or approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Clean and oil the grille great. Grill and assemble. Bake the chicken on one side for about 5-7 minutes. Please rest for about 5 minutes. Next, chopped chicken into bite-sized pieces and served on a bed of chopped romaine lettuce and add toppings such as red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek yogurt sauce/tuzajiki, feta cheese, mini pita bread and more.
Recipe Tips
Mix with your hands – You can use clean hands or gloves, but hand mixing allows you to take marinade over every inch of chicken for a better flavor and a softer texture. Oil Grilled Great – You don’t want to stick chicken on the Great when the juice is gone and cool, so oil the Great well before adding the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check the donation properties on the thermometer to make sure the chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165ºF. Let it rest – let it rest so that it can be reabsorbed the chicken juice and it’s wonderful and juicy. If you cut it quickly, these juices will run out and the chicken will dry out.
