One Pot Shawarma Chicken and Rice Recipe

Serve this dish with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or chicken broth to prevent the rice from drying out.
Variations:

Swap the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
Add vegetables like carrots, peas, or zucchini to the rice for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a more intense Shawarma flavor, try adding a drizzle of tahini or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
FAQ:

Can I use a different type of rice?
Yes, you can use other types of rice, but basmati or long-grain rice works best as they remain fluffy and absorb the flavors well.

Can I prepare this in advance?
Yes, you can marinate the chicken ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The flavors will deepen the longer the chicken marinates.

What can I serve with this dish?
A side of roasted vegetables, a cucumber salad, or a simple bowl of hummus would complement this dish perfectly.
