Lebanese Chicken Shawarma
1
Christopher Walters
"This is a flavorful chicken dish, which I first tasted at a little Lebanese restaurant. While normally shawarma is sliced off a rotisserie, it can be made at home with just a few changes. Be warned, it takes a day of prep time. For lunch, serve as a sandwich in warmed flatbread with cucumber sauce, sliced onion, and seeded tomato. For dinner, serve with rice and lentils (for a treat, look up mujadarrah on this site)."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Mix in chicken strips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Remove chicken from the bowl and arrange in a single layer on a broiling pan. Discard excess marinade.
- Broil chicken, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Made the recipe as is. Was not pleased with the result. Chicken was dry, covered in a pasty sour tasting coating. I won’t make it again.

I made the recipe today. Followed instructions. Was disappointed. Flavors were good but marinating in yogurt left a paste on the chicken which neither my husband nor I cared for. It made the chi...

This recipe is fabulous with intense flavor. I'd like to try it on the grill. I used fresh ground coriander since my ground coriander was old and lost its flavor, and a little extra garlic.

Great combination but the chicken was a bit dry. Second day we had leftovers for lunch and I added Tsatziki and Humous.. was REALLY good!

We’ve made this s few times. Easy and very favourable. Chicken always turns out tender.
