Shawarma Chicken With Tahini Sauce
- 2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast Or Thighs
- 4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 whole Large Cloves Garlic, Crushed
- 3 Tablespoons Plain Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Tomato Paste
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/2 cups Tahini
- 2 whole Large Cloves Garlic, Crushed
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Plain Yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cups Water
- 8 whole Flat Breads, Warmed
- 1 whole Cucumber, Thinly Sliced
- 3 whole Plum Tomatoes, Thinly Sliced
- 1) Whisk all marinade ingredients together.
- Leave the chicken breasts whole or cut them into bite size pieces if you want to skewer them.
- (If making kabobs, skewer the chicken now, it will be much less messy).
- Pour marinade over chicken and turn pieces to evenly coat.
- Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
- 2) While the chicken is marinating, make the tahini sauce.
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl that has a lid.
- Thin it out with a little more water if too thick.
- 3) When the chicken is done marinating, preheat grill.
- Allow the excess marinade to drip off of the chicken before you place it on the grill.
- Discard marinade.
- Cook the chicken until the juices run clear (for whole breasts, this should take about 5-7 minutes per side; for skewers, since the chicken pieces are smaller, you can just cook until all of the sides are nicely brown and you should be good).
- Remove from the grill.
- For the whole breasts, allow to rest for 15 minutes covered with foil before slicing.
- Thinly slice the chicken on the diagonal.
- Serve as a sandwich with warm pita bread, tahini sauce, and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.
- YUMMY!
