Thread: slow cooker (crock pot ) Chicken Shawarma

Just tried a slow cooker Chicken Shawarma -looks as good as it tasted - see my photo below - the only difference from the recipe is that i added freshly crushed chilies to a low fat Greek yogurt and and used tortilla wraps but pitta bread would also be prefect







For the Chicken:


12 boneless chicken thighs - i used 3 chicken breast - for the 3 of us

1 lemon, zest and juice


6 garlic cloves, crushed

35g fresh ginger, finely grated

½ tsp ground turmeric


1 ½ tsp paprika


3 tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp cinnamon

1 tsp chilli flakes

1 tsp ground coriander

100ml olive oil - ( to cover 12 chicken tights )

30g bunch coriander, chopped well





Salsa:

1 red onion, thinly sliced

½ cucumber, thinly sliced

20g chopped coriander

1 tsp ground coriander

1 lemon, zest only

4 tsp white wine vinegar


1tbsp olive oil

To Serve:


Greek Yoghurt




1. To marinade the chicken, put the lemon juice, garlic and ginger in a large bowl.


2. Add the spices to the lemon mix, and then add the olive oil, coriander and the chicken.


3. Mix well to cover and leave for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to marinade.


4. When ready to cook, add the marinated chicken to the crock pot, cover and cook for 3 hours on High or 5-6 hours on Low.


5. When ready to serve, remove the chicken from the marinade and set aside.
6- make the "salsa" and prepare your chosen salad


6. put drained chicken onto a pan on a hob, add a little of the cooking marinade. Brown the chicken pieces for 2 minutes each side.


7. Why not serve with tortilla wraps , flat breads, Houmous, baby spinach leaves, yoghurt and some hot sauce.

Wow, that looks so refreshing!
