Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish of garlicky meat or poultry served on pitas. This chicken version is flavored with a savory yogurt sauce. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 16 (3-inch) strips |
1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat greek yogurt (such as fage) |
2 tablespoons tahini |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 garlic clove, minced |
remaining ingredients |
cooking spray |
4 (6-inch) pitas |
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce |
8 (1/4-inch-thick) tomato slices |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. To prepare chicken, combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss well to coat. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.
3. To prepare sauce, combine yogurt and next 4 ingredients (through 1 garlic clove), stirring with a whisk.
4. Thread 2 chicken strips onto each of 8 (12-inch) skewers. Place kebabs on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until done.
5. Place pitas on grill rack; grill 1 minute on each side or until lightly toasted. Place 1 pita on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1/4 cup lettuce and 2 tomato slices. Top each serving with 4 chicken pieces; drizzle each serving with 2 tablespoons sauce.
