Preparation and Cooking Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, add the chicken, avocado oil, onion powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper, sumac, cayenne, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon juice. Mix and set aside.
  • In a mini food processor, add in all the garlic sauce ingredients and blend. Pour in a bowl and set aside in the fridge.
  • On a baking sheet, add the tomatoes, drizzle a dash of olive oil and salt, and bake until soft, about 25 minutes. You can also do this on a skillet to get the charred look and flavor.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment, and spray with non-stick spray. Add the chicken and spread out evenly on the pan. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Add to your already cooked rice some ghee for flavor and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To plate, add the rice, the chicken shawarma, roasted tomato, and top with garlic sauce. Sprinkle a dash more sumac for flavor.
  • I will usually add some greens, labneh, hummus, and sometimes tahini and flatbread. Serve and enjoy!
