Homemade Chicken Shawarma

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium chicken breasts (about 600g)
  • 3 hot dogs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ chicken bouillon cube
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Red pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, grated or julienned
  • ¼ cup red cabbage (optional)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine salt, chicken bouillon, onion powder, red pepper, minced garlic, oil, and lemon juice. Add the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the veggies: shred the cabbage, grate or julienne the carrot, and chop the red cabbage if using.
  3. For the sauce, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  5. Slice the chicken and hot dogs into thin strips.
  6. Assemble the Shawarma: in a wrap or pita, layer the chicken, hot dogs, and veggies, then drizzle with the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer, use grilled chicken for a smoky taste, and feel free to customize your vegetables and sauces.
