Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Shawarma Jamie Oliver
- In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade, making sure to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto skewers and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing together some plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken shawarma with warm pita bread, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
