Easy Chicken Shawarma

Servings 2
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Marinating 6 hours
Total Time 6 hours 6 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Into a container (I have used a reusable bag but you can use any container) add the chicken and the rest of the ingredients.
  • Close the bag and massage with your hands so the spices and ingredients properly coat the chicken. I like this way of mixing so I don’t have to touch the chicken and it also really seal the flavours in.
  • Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours so the flavours have got time to marinate.
  • Add to a sheet pan and bake at 200C for 15 minutes.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes then slice.
  • Now you can add chicken shawarma to your favourite dish: a salad, a side dish, or like I did to my 3 ingredients flatbread. I made a quick yoghurt/ garlic sauce and added tomatoes and cucumber.
