Instructions
 

  • When you are ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400° for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium-size bowl, add all your ingredients for the chicken seasoning. Mix.
  • Cut your chicken into slices.
  • Add your chicken slices to your chicken seasoning mix. You can cook right away, or you can allow them to marinate. Best to marinate for at least six hours or overnight.
  • When ready to cook, line your air fryer with aluminum foil creating a tray with raised edges to keep in the marinade.
  • Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. 
  • While your chicken is cooking, add all the salad ingredients to a small bowl stir, and mix well. Set aside.
  • Add all the ingredients for the tahini sauce in a small mixing bowl and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Once your chicken is done cooking, you’re ready to assemble your Shawarma.
  • Add to your pita bread or flatbread your lemon tahini sauce, chicken slices, and top with your salad.
  • Fold and bring the edges together. Enjoy!

Notes

Chicken Prep: You can cook the chicken right away, or you can leave the chicken overnight to marinate in the seasoning. It's best to allow the shawarma meat to sit for at least 6 hours.
