Chicken shawarma

August 25, 2020 by

One of my fav restaurants in Oakville is Maro’s. Middle eastern mouth-watering healthy food. When COVID hit and I couldn’t get my favourites I tried to improvise at home, and the Chicken Shawarma was created.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 6 chicken breasts – cut into strips (you can use chicken thighs as well if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons Shawarma Spice Blend (I get mine at Bulk Barn)
  • 2 Peppers cut into strips (any colour will do)
  • 1 Red or white onion cut into strips
  • 1.5 cups of Hummus (get my recipe here – I always have this made and ready in the fridge)
  • 1 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1 cup pickled onions

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut all your veggies and chicken
  2. Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan – start cooking the chicken on Medium – for 7 mins – add in the Shawarma spice blend. Mix
  3. Add in the Peppers and Onions continue cooking and stirring to coat all of the chicken and veggies – cook for 5-7 mins.
  4.  Get a long serving dish and coat the bottom of the dish with Hummus – use all of the hummas
  5. Layer the chicken mixture on top
  6. Layer on the cumbers and pickled onions

This meal is great hot, or cold the next day!
