Chicken Shwarma

I made this to reach back to my middle eastern roots.



















Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cucumber (cut)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 4 6-inch whole wheat pita breads
  • 1 medium tomato (cut)
  • 2 cups lettuce
(Serves 4)

What to do:
1. Stir cucumber, yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.

2. Combine garlic powder, curry powder, pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt in another bowl. Slice chicken breast crosswise into 1/4 inch strips; toss with the spice mixture to coat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and toss to combine.

3. Grill the chicken until cooked through.

4. Spread 1/4 cup of cucumber-yogurt mixture on pita and top with the chicken, tomato, and lettuce

YUM this is so good and is very easy to make.

Today I frolicked in the snow taking water samples at Deer Creek. It was the best.

  1. We have made this twice since you posted the recipe... it is now a family favorite. When I make it for dinner, and your Dad and Will are in different parts of the house, they practically come running toward the kitchen saying "mmmmm, chicken swarma, mmmmmmm, yaaaayyyyyyy!!!!"
