Ingredients

• 1000 g chicken breast
• 1000 g chicken thigh
• 100 g shawarma paste
• 100 g Greek yogurt
• 30 tablespoon of Greek yogurt
• 5 teaspoon of salt
• 3 teaspoon of paprika
• 15 tablespoon of olive oil

Method

1. Cut each chicken breast or thigh in half to get thinner fillets. Place parchment paper on top and gently pound with a rolling pin until uniformly thin.
2. In a bowl, place the chicken and add the shawarma paste, Greek yogurt, paprika, olive oil, and salt. Mix everything well until the meat is completely coated.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Stack the meat in an oven-safe loaf pan, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
4. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes, pour off most of the juices (reserve a little), unmold onto a cutting board, and slice thinly. Drizzle again with the reserved juices.
5. Serve the chicken slices with rice, salad, hummus or tzatziki, or wrap in flatbread for a wrap.
