Easy, fall apart chicken shawarma
My favorite part about this recipe is that it takes maybe 10 minutes max to throw together and then I can just leave it to cook while it creates the juiciest, most tender chicken with barely any effort.
This recipe is featuring one of my favorite shawarma marinades from . Their sauces are SO good and I love supporting women-run businesses putting good things into the world.
Okay, let’s get into the recipe
You will need:
4 chicken breasts
4-6 Yukon gold potatoes, chopped/peeled
1 small onion, chopped into 8ths
1–2 cups cherry tomatoes
Beituti Shawarma Marinade (half the bottle)
1.5 tsp of Salt
1 Tsp granulated garlic
The trick to cooking this is the tight seal. So use an oven-safe dish with a solid lid (such as a Le Creuset or lidded Pyrex casserole dish) or TIGHTLY wrap the casserole in foil!
1. Preheat oven to 250°.
2. Add potatoes, onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bottom of the dish. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic powder. Toss.
4. Place chicken on top and coat generously with shawarma marinade. Add 1/2-1 tsp salt on the chicken.
5. Cover tightly with a solid lid (or tightly sealed foil).
6. Bake for 2.5 hours. Chicken should be tender and fall apart!
Serve with rice, pita, toum, cucumber salad, or pickled turnips! Sahten (Lebanese way of saying Bon appetite)!
Comment “link” and I will DM you the link to their marinade that I am obsessed with!
A fun bonus, I used my potatoes and onion I got from my CSA basket! Nailing the veggie intake and easy to digest this way!
