A family favorite. Love it with easy homemade Naan.

8 chicken thighs

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

2 teaspoons cumin

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon coriander

2 teaspoons salt to taste

1 teaspoons black pepper to taste

1 cup yogurt

3 Tablespoons tomato paste

juice of 1/2 lemon or 3 tbsp

1 Tablespoons olive oil

 

Place the chicken thighs in a bowl.

 

Sprinkle the seasonings on top of chicken. Follow by adding the yogurt, tomato paste, lemon juice and olive oil. Rub everything together so that the pieces of chicken are thoroughly coated.

 

Either slide chicken thighs onto a skewer shawarma pan, or pack chicken into a 9x5 loaf pan, cover with foil.

 

Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 60 minutes. If using loaf pan, cover with foil, remove half way through cooking time. If using loaf pan, it may take more time. 

Use a sharp knife to shave slices off the chicken and serve!

*I have subbed the yogurt for sour cream with good results.
