Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Grilled Chicken Shawarma

[heart_this] · Jul 2, 2018 · 3 Comments

Grilled Chicken Shawarma

A quick and easy grilled shawarma seasoned chicken that is just packed with flavour!

Chicken shawarma is a great quick takeout and it’s normally done with seasoned chicken cooked on a vertical rotisserie but it’s also fun doing it grilled, especially in the summer! This is a grilled version of the classic chicken shawarma where chicken is marinated with shawarma seasoning, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice before it’s grilled to perfection! It really is as easy as that, marinate and grill! Done! This grilled chicken shawarma is an amazing take on the classic that’s so good that I’m grilling it all summer long. It’s great by itself as a main and it’s also great sliced thin as an ingredient in other recipes like wraps, sandwiches, salads, etc.

    I have chicken breast already cut into strips marinating now for tomorrow. Looking forward to it. I may try to cook the chicken in the instant pot (if there’s enough liquid when I check tomorrow). I figure it will further infuse the flavor, and then I can stick them under the broiler to crisp them up a bit. I’ll let you know how it goes. As always, thanks for the inspiration, Kevin!
