Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoon Cornflour
1 tablespoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Dried Coriander
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 tablespoon Cayenne
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 pound Boneless Chicken Thighs, Halved
1.25 cup Greek Yogurt
4 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 teaspoon Mustard Powder
1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
1 teaspoon Salt
1 bunch Broccoli Floret, Thinly sliced (Originally raw, Cooked for Me)
1 batch Flatbead (For Serving)

Steps:

  • Essential Kit: 900g loaf tin (Roughly 2lb)
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350F) / fan 160°C (320F) and lightly grease a 900g loaf tin.
  • For the shawarma, mix together the cornflour, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cloves, cayenne and cinnamon.
  • Put the oil into a bowl, then add the chicken and stir it around. Add the dry spice mix and stir to coat all the chicken pieces well. Layer the pieces of chicken in the loaf tin and press down, then bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the slaw. Put the broccoli into a large bowl.
  • Put the yoghurt into a second bowl and heat the oil in a small pan. As soon as the oil is hot, add the mustard powder and seeds - when the seeds begin to pop, pour the oil and seeds over the yoghurt, add the salt and stir. Pour this dressing over the broccoli, then mix in the parsley.
  • When the shawarma is ready, leave it in the tin for 10 minutes so that all the juices can go back into the chicken.
  • Tip it out of the tin and slice your shawarma. We like to eat this piled into flatbreads with the slaw. Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge, or frozen for the next time you need your shawarma fix.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken shawarma extra flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a rotisserie, you can cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • To make the tahini sauce, simply whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and water until smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water or tahini as needed.
  • Serve the chicken shawarma with warm pita bread, tahini sauce, hummus, and a variety of toppings such as pickled turnips, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.
