Air Fryer Chicken Shawarma
with an easy yogurt sauce
Just 9 ingredients, and 15 minutes is all it takes for this delicious, juicy chicken shawarma! Which makes it the perfect weeknight meal or Sunday meal prep recipe!
It’s a meal that everyone loves!
When I used to cook for a few of the Indiana Pacers, this was one their favorites. I made it as a post-game or an off-day meal. Why? Because chicken contains a mineral called chromium, it helps balance blood sugar to normalize hunger and cravings.
I prefer marinating a big batch of this chicken on Sunday night, the next day it’s ready for the air fryer! I just pop it in there and make a yogurt sauce to go along with it!
How can I make the yogurt sauce?
Into a bowl, mix together the following ingredients:
1 cup thick plain yogurt
I prefer using organic full fat greek yogurt (20g of protein in just 1 cup)
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1 lemon, juiced
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Optional: 2 tablespoons dried or freshly chopped dill
In the middle eastern culture, it’s very common to eat any meal with a yogurt sauce. So if you’ve never tried dipping or serving your chicken, try this combo and let me know what you think!
