Ryans Chicken Shawarma Recipe

	Rescinderella / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago My husband started ordering Chicken Shawarma off of any menu that had it. He had a favorite version, and so I did my best to emulate the recipe! Of course, it is the chicken version. You can make this with lamb or beef, I'm sure. Also, it should serv... More Prep:25m Cook:75m Servings:8	Rescinderel

Ingredients

1 - 2 lbs of chicken (breasts or thighs, no bones or skin)

4 large lavash (8 if you cut in half - you can also use pita bread if you can't find lavash)

Marinade

1/3 cup of vinegar

1 cup of plain yogurt, (I like Greek yogurt, so creamy & tangy!)

1 larger lemon (about 1/4 or 1/3 cup of juice)

2 - 3 garlic cloves, pressed

1 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cardamom pods

1 tsp. allspice

Dressing

1 cup of tahini

3 garlic cloves, pressed

1 larger lemon (another 1/4 cup or so of juice)

1/4 cup of plain yogurt

pinch of cumin

Potential ingredients for your shawarma:

sumac

sliced tomato

sliced cucumber

sliced red onion

lettuce

crumbled feta

pickled turnip or carrot

Must haves:

chopped parsley

sliced pickles

Directions

Combine all marinade ingredients and move to a large ziploc bag or other sealable, marinade-friendly container.

Add chicken and put in the fridge for at least five hours. Marinate overnight for best results!

When done marinating, put chicken & marinade into a saucepan over low to medium heat for 30 - 45 minutes (or until chicken is done, and marinade is reduced to a creamy texture).

While chicken is cooking, cut up your veggies. Put tomato, cucumber, and onion slices into a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon or so of sumac. (Never measured this). Put in fridge until chicken is done.

Mix together dressing ingredients until smooth, so delicious! Sneak a taste & set aside.

When chicken is done, fork shred or slice very thin. (I prefer fork shredded).

Lavash should be room temperature for pliability (sometimes I even warm them up a little in the oven or on the gas stove for a toasty flavor & texture).

Add ingredients as you like, (don't overdo it with the parsley), pour on dressing, roll it up like a burrito and enjoy!

Your husband is a fortunate man - This is one of the best recipes I have seen right down to the sumac!
I myself would add a little cinnamon to the marinade however. But this is really good!
