Time 8h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup plain yogurt
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup canola oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine yogurt, lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, paprika, cumin, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl; mix well. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil in batches until tender and browned, about 5 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I've tried many different shawarma recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the marinade is delicious.

This shawarma was a great way to use up some leftover chicken. I shredded the chicken and then mixed it with the marinade. It was delicious served on pita bread with tzatziki sauce.

I love that this recipe is so easy to make. I just marinated the chicken overnight and then cooked it on the grill. It was a great weeknight meal.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so moist and flavorful. I served it with rice, vegetables, and pita bread, and it was a complete meal.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I loved this marinade. It added a subtle tanginess to the chicken that was really appealing.

I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and they turned out perfectly. The marinade really penetrated the meat and gave it a delicious flavor.

The yogurt marinade made the chicken so juicy and tender. I cooked it on skewers over a charcoal grill, and the flavor was incredible.
