Grilled Chicken Shawarma Kebab skewers with lemon, hummus and a tomato cucumber salad
  • Serves: 6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp cardamom
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • fresh parsley (optional)

Tahini Sauce

  • 1 cup Simple Truth tahini
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt

Method

  1. Cut chicken into 1” pieces. In a large bowl combine yogurt, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric and salt. Add chicken to bowl and toss until chicken is coated in marinade. Cover and place in refrigerated for 1 hour. (if you don’t have time for this the meat will still be delicious).
  2. Using soaked bamboo or metal skewers, tightly skewer the meat.
  3. Preheat grill to medium heat. Place marinated skewers on grill and cook until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reads 165°F on an instant read thermometer), turning often.
  4. In a small bowl combine all ingredients for tahini sauce. It will look like it is separating for a minute, but continue to stir until smooth.
  5. Serve chicken warm with tahini sauce and a simple salad of tomatoes and cucumber.
