Shawarma INSPIRED Chicken

 Music Share: I Won by Mayah Dyson

So, I've been finding a lot of quick recipes online. I came across a recipe by @snackqween on TikTok a few days ago and knew I had to try it.

Ingredients:

  • Chicken thighs
  • Plain yogurt
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon tumeric
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Pita
  • Hummus
  • Fresh vegetables
  • Tzatziki sauce

Instructions:
  1. Place chicken, yogurt, olive oil, and all spices into a ZipLoc bag and "mix" until all is combined
  2. Place bag into refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, but overnight is preferable
  3. Once chicken is marinated, place into baking dish, and into preheated oven (425 degrees) for 25 minutes. Broil for an additional 5-7 minutes. (I did adjust the cooking time a little because I thought the chicken should cook longer.)
  4. Once the chicken is done, slice in order to prepare for serving
I ate mine by spreading hummus on a pita, then adding chicken. I topped the chicken with sliced peppers, cucumber, onion, and radish. I also added Tzatziki sauce and avocado. Y'all, it was SO good!

If you try this, let me know what you think and how you dressed yours up!
