Irresistible Chicken Shawarma Bowls Your Family Will Love

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine extra-virgin olive oil with smoked paprika, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade until well-coated, letting them sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerating for up to 3 hours for deeper flavor.

   While the chicken marinates, cook the long-grain white rice according to the package instructions.

3. 3

   Heat a pan over medium heat and sear the marinated chicken thighs for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
