Ingredients
For the Chicken Shawarma:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breast)
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
5 galic cloves, grated
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
The Chicken Shawarma Spices:
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sumac
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
black pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes to taste
For the Rice:
2 cups long grain rice
2 (15oz/425g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2-3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
The Sauce:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-2 garlic cloves, grated
Instructions
Begin with the Rice: Place the rice in a bowl and rinse it with cool water 4-5 times. Soak it in water for 15 minutes.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large bowl along with all of the spices, oil, lemon, and seasonings. Mix together until coated and set aside.
Make the Sauce: Combine all of the shawarma sauce ingredients together in a bowl and whisk together. Transfer the sauce into a squeeze bottle and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Heat a Dutch oven (or a regular pot) over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted. Add the chickpeas and season them lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook them for 3-4 minutes until golden.
Drain the rice and add it to the pot along with 2 teaspoons salt, lemon juice, and the broth. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff the rice and keep warm until ready to serve.
The chicken can be cooked in an air fryer, on a barbecue grill, in a pan on the stovetop or under the broiler in the oven.
For the Air fryer, place the chicken and onions in an even layer into the basket (cook in 2-3 batches as to not overcrowd the basket) and cook at 400 °F for 15 minutes on each side. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.
Remove from the air fryer basket and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Thinly slice and serve with the rice, sauce, and a salad.

Notes
For Chicken breast meat, the cooking time will be shorter. Air fry for 6 minutes per side and then once the internal temp reaches 165 °F it is ready. Chicken thighs will remain juicy even if overcooked but the same cannot be said for breast meat.

I think you’re my new favorite- because you are so quick in your delivery yet so thorough as well!
And thank you for not sharing all the family memories of Schwarma, the first time you tasted Schwarma, the history of chickpeas, etc.
🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh. I’m glad you’re enjoying my recipes. Thanks for your feedback! 😊
Just made this for dinner. My husband kept saying "it's soooo good." Followed the recipe for chicken, rice and sauce. It's just awesome. It's easy to make. I marinated the chicken in the morning and cooked it for dinner. Highly recommend making this. Oh, and for dessert I made her no bake mosaiko biscuit cake, which is also awesome!
Are 2 cups of chicken broth enough to cook the 2 cups of rice? 😅
@@anacorona2527 sorry I just saw your question. I actually cooked the rice in my little rice cooker but I did add more liquid bc I like my rice a little soft for long grain rice. I would recommend 2.5 cups of broth on the stove but it may need to simmer just a bit longer...if you like soft long grain rice. Hope that helps.
This was delicious, family enjoyed it very much. Very easy to prepare.
I love your recipes.

This looks absolutely amazing Dimitra😍I'm going to have to get an air fryer now!!
It makes life so much easier. Especially for me because I don't go near the bbq grill. lol!
I appreciate the presentation of your recipes. You make them easy to follow and appear effortless to execute.. Thank you for this delicious looking chicken recipe. I love your channel.
Thank you so much 🙂
Love these recipes. However, I have to wait on this one since Lent has started.
Use fish. Lessen the cooking time.
I like the way your kids think, Dimitra, those "earthy" spices don't work for me, outside of baking.
I'll be making this one!
I just went to a Mediterranean restaurant this week and are shawarma chicken for the first time. Perfect timing on this recipe! I'll definitely be trying.
It's wonderful
@@LindaC616 thanks for your thoughts. That just makes me want to try it more!
@@jman4817 A friend came to visit me for my birthday a few years back and we went to Boston for the weekend. As we left the Museum of Art there was a little shawarma place down the street. I ordered a vegetable kibbeh in a wrap: it had pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, veggies I don't even know what all... quinoa, maybe. It was absolutely delicious and I have been trying to get back so I can try it again if that place is still there. It was just a little hole in the wall, it actually looked almost like where they filmed the closing scene in Avengers LOL.
Don't limit yourself to looking for Greek places you will also find it in Lebanese restaurants and others
Thank you will be making this soon! If using the oven/broiler for the chicken how long would you say to cook it for?
About 25 minutes :)
I have some Shwarma seasoning. How much of it would you suggest I use? I’m thinking 1-2 tablespoons.
That sounds about right. I would still add some extra salt :) enjoy!!
Very nice recipe I will make it tonight- by the way do you use ammonia in your cookies- I need to make biscuits old fashion? Waiting for your reply
thank you! I have never tried baking with ammonia. I use baking soda or baking powder instead :)
It sounds good but I have a question, is it the ratio for rice and water 1 cup rice 2 cups of water? You said 2 cups rice 2 cups water?
Will you be posting the recipe?
The recipe is on my website and the link is in the description box below the video :)

Sometimes I put pumpkin seeds in the rice as well as one or two whole cloves. It gives a good warm flavor to the dish.
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!!
Do you use specific brands for the sauce? I try to look at videos as careful as possible, but the sauce always turns out bad.
