Lebanese Chicken Shawarma - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
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
Preparation
-
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.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Remove chicken from the bowl and arrange in a single layer on a broiling pan. Discard excess marinade.
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).
