Chicken Shawarma

[bosco]

4 large chicken breasts

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp cumin

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp allspice

3/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of cayenne

Salt and black pepper

Ok for those who want to give it a go. Mix the ingredients and add the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 12 hours. I cooked on grill at 350 indirect. (Best method is to pan fry with 2 tblspn of oil). I butterfly cut the chicken t make thinner pieces to soak in more of the marinade.

Under cook chicken with whatever way you want to cook it and remove from heat source. Do not clean out pan or on grill do not flip chicken. Preserve as much of marinade as possible.

Cut up into small pieces and stick in pan or in CI with a little oil. Re cook it almost frying it.

That's it. Once it is all uniform colour remove and serve over rice.

Rice

2 cups of basmati rice

3 ½ cups of chicken stock/broth

2 tbsp of butter

½ tsp turmeric

¼ tsp cumin

Kosher salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients and bring to boil and then simmer until soft.

Creamy garlic white sauce

1 ½ cups of plain Greek yogurt

½ cups of mayonnaise

1 tablespoon of sugar

2 tablespoons of white vinegar

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

¼ cup of finely chopped fresh parsley

4-6 cloves of garlic finely chopped

Kosher salt and pepper to taste (about ¼ tsp of salt and ¼ - ½ tsp of pepper)

The only time I've eaten chicken shawarma was in EPCOT. It was very good, but I'll bet homemade is 10 times better. Worth a try for sure.
