Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Yogurt, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, black pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice, and yogurt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the sliced chicken in the mixing bowl. Toss the chicken until it is completely coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Step 4
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan, spreading it in an even layer.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium shoarma with your choice of side dishes, such as whole wheat pita bread, fresh salad, or rice.
