Ingredients:

Chicken breast or thighs (boneless, skinless)

Big Batch Energy Shawarma seasoning blend

Lemon juice

Olive oil

Greek yogurt

Pita bread or flatbreads

Fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lettuce)

Optional: tahini sauce, hummus

Cooking Time and Temperature:

Prep time: 15 minutes

Marinating time: 1 to 4 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor)

Grilling time: 10-12 minutes

Grill temperature: Medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C)

Steps:

• Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, a generous splash of olive oil, lemon juice, and 2-3 tablespoons of the Big Batch Energy Shawarma Seasoning blend. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.

• Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a dish, and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure even coating. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).

• Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

• Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

• Rest and Slice: Once grilled, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. This helps to retain its juices.

• Prepare the Shawarma: Warm your pita bread or flatbreads. Lay out the sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and drizzle with tahini sauce or hummus if desired. Sprinkle an extra dash of the Big Batch Energy Shawarma Seasoning blend for an extra burst of flavor.

Recommended Pairings:

Pair your Grilled Chicken Shawarma with a side of fluffy couscous, a crisp Greek salad, or some roasted vegetables. Serve with a refreshing glass of minty lemonade or a chilled cucumber yogurt drink to complement the spices.
