Print Recipe

A flavorful and easy-to-make Savory Chicken Shawarma dish served with a refreshing zesty garlic sauce, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken thighs (boneless preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup Plain yogurt
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs in the basket and cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and golden brown. Alternatively, pan-sear over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Squeeze in more lemon juice and stir until smooth.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  5. Serve the sliced chicken in wraps or over rice, drizzled with zesty garlic sauce and garnished with chopped parsley.
  6. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

Experiment with ingredient swaps like chicken breasts or lamb, and consider vegetarian options like eggplant or mushrooms. Marinating the chicken ahead of time boosts flavor.
