CHICKEN SHAWARMA WITH YOGURT SAUCE



Chicken Shawarma with Yogurt Sauce image

The key to cooking juicy chicken without a spit in this healthy recipe is high heat and dark meat. The yogurt in the marinade gives the chicken both its tender texture and its alluring char. More yogurt in the sauce, along with crunchy cucumbers and herbs, keeps the flavors bright.

Categories     Healthy Chicken Sandwich Recipes

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup whole-milk plain yogurt, divided
1 small yellow onion, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely grated, divided
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ cup finely chopped seeded cucumber
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, cilantro and/or parsley
3 whole-wheat lavash, halved
Lettuce leaves & sliced tomato for serving

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup yogurt, onion, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 garlic cloves, coriander, cumin, allspice, pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt and turmeric in a large bowl. Add chicken and rub the yogurt mixture into it. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
  • Position racks in upper third and center of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

SPICY YOGHURT CHICKEN



Spicy Yoghurt Chicken image

From the BBC Good Food's "40 best chicken recipes" booklet. Can either be done in the oven, or griddled, or BBQ'd - would taste great whichever way you choose. I served it with a salad and new potatoes, but I can't help thinking it would be fabulous in half a french stick, with salad & mango chutney included!
