Chicken Shawarma

c. extra-virgin olive oil

lemon

garlic,

kosher salt

cumin

coriander

tsp. black pepper

turmeric

cinnamon

cayenne pepper

lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs

Cooking spray

onion,

c. Greek yogurt

olive oil

Kosher salt

red pepper flakes

Pitas, warmed

romaine

Cherry tomatoes, halved

Cucumber, thinly sliced

I cooked this exactly as the recipe said except I left the chicken in the oven for about 45 mins. It was so good, im making it again tonite over rice except this time I’m adding an extra onion and definitely keeping some olive oil on the pan because it was really good as a dressing mixed with the yogurt sauce just a preference we had lol. Definitely keeping in the dinner rotation and would definitely recommend this recipe for sure

An amazingly flavorful and juicy dish. Made it for my husband and making it again for our neighborhood group. It’s a keeper and super easy to put together!

This was incredible. I only had chicken breasts on hand so I cut two breasts in half, to create four strips, and threw it in to marinade. It ended up marinading for a couple days before I could get around to it, and it was phenomenal. I also thought the onion was going to be way too much, quantity wise, but once they caramelized they reduced and were perfect. I put on a flat pita, added the yogurt sauce, tomatoes and cucumbers. Will definitely make this again. Total winner

I made it with chicken breast thinly sliced at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. The sliced breast strips absorbed the marinade and cooked quicker.

Loved this - I found the flavour fantastic and it was so easy to make.  It is definitely on the  supper roster now!  Instead of just using the cucumber, tomatoes in the sandwich, however, I made a fattoush salad to go with it,  it was a great dinner - if I do say so myself, this rivaled going out for this meal.

Made this today and it was a hit. Thank you for the recipe!

This was nothing like real shawarma. My husband is Egyptian and he was so upset with dinner. Our daughter didn't eat it.

Yummy--but when I lived in the middle east, shwarmas always had a sour pickle inside, too. Sometimes that was a pickled vegetable of some sort, but usually just a thin dill pickle spear. Usually it was just onions, pickle, garlic sauce, and meat tightly wrapped in a thin pita. I like fresh veggies in mine, though.

I did this once with thighs and another time with breast and both times the flavor was underwhelming.  There's a chicken shwarma marinated chicken thighs package you can buy at Trader Joe's and it tastes amazing and we can't crack the code to get the same experience. there's not enough flavor in this recipe.

Enjoyed this for dinner and it was a savory success! Quick, easy and delicious; definitely, a new favorite recipe!

Yes. Please. Thank you! This is so amazing!

One of my favorites to order when we are getting Greek/Middle Eastern takeout! Can't wait to try this recipe at home soon. :)

It truly is all about the right spices, this is the perfect blend!! Thank you for sharing.

This was SO delicious! The chicken had great flavor and was so tender and juicy. My family loved it!

I love that I can make this so delicious at home! Not too difficult and great every time.

We live in the UK Shadi and what we call a grill is, I believe, what you call a broiler? I bought boneless chicken thighs because I'm very naughty and love chicken skin. So I cooked the thighs in the oven and finished them off under the broiler and the skin was crispy and absolutely lovely and tasty. My wife doesn't eat chicken skin so double rations for me. it was another reward for me for doing the cooking and the dishes. This is a 'no lose' recipe for me and I'll be cooking it about once every two months. There are many other recipes of yours I will be trying too. My wife and I love Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern and North African food and your site is packed full of them. Thank you so much for sharing them and giving us a holiday at home.

Shadi, you have really 'nailed' this recipe. I made it for the third time last night and each time it was absolutely delicious and consistent. I put the chicken thighs in a zip-loc bag to marinate and squeezed out the air so all parts of the thighs are covered in oil, lemon juice and the wonderful spices. 8 hours in the fridge - perfect flavouring. I tried paratha (an Indian flatbread) last night and that worked as well as pita and lavash. There is only one part of your wonderful recipe I haven't been able to test yet. I haven't tested whether the leftovers last 3 days in the fridge because we haven't had any leftovers. I cook for my wife and myself and scale down the ingredients to suit 3 but we like the shwarma so much there's never anything left. Another positive though, it makes doing the dishes easy too. 😂😂

Made this for dinner the other night for my husband and I and we both really enjoyed it.  The recipe was easy to follow and very delicious. Will definitely be making again!

Definitely a recipe I'll be making again and again! Perfectly seasoned!

Homemade chicken shawarma made the right way. It looks absolutely stunning!

delicious - i love schwarma but haven't been able to go get it for so long - this was great!

This is so tasty and delicious!! I can't stop myself from eating more than I usually do! This is amazing!
