Lebanese Chicken Shawarma Recipe

Lebanese Chicken Shawarma Recipe

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  1. Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Mix in chicken strips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate, 8 hours to overnight.
  2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  3. Remove chicken from the bowl and arrange in a single layer on a broiling pan. Discard excess marinade.
  4. Broil chicken, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
