Description
Imagine the same bold flavors you'd get with classic shawarma, but instead of grilling the meat on a spit, you take the easy route and roast and caramelize the meat in the oven. For maximum flavor, you can marinate the meat overnight, but the dish is still plenty tasty marinated an hour before baking. Serve the chicken and generous juices with rice or pita, your favorite hot sauce, and a drizzle of yogurt mixed with salt and grated garlic. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Jennifer Clair.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 2 tsp. smoked paprika

- 1 tsp. ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- 2 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 5 garlic cloves (divided)
- 1 red onion (large)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (or cilantro)
- pita bread (or steamed rice)
- hot sauce (such as harissa)
Directions
- Cut lemon in half, then squeeze into a large bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, cumin, paprika, 1 tsp. salt, the turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne and stir to blend. Add chicken and toss thoroughly to coat, using tongs. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
