An Alternative Mother's Day Chicken Shawarma

(with a side portion of love)(F)

Mother's Day needs a shake up! The mums of yesteryear may have been happy with a roast chicken dinner but the mum of today is a sophisticated lady with global taste! That's why we decided to spice up the usual mealtime offering with this healthy spin on a Lebanese classic. Maximum taste, maximum love, minimum hassle. Best served with a warm hug.

Instructions

Slice into it from the side
1

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees. Lay each chicken breast on the chopping board and slice into it from the side. Open it up like a book. You’ve now butterflied your chicken!

Rub all over the chicken
2

Mix 3 tbsp of the yoghurt with the shawarma seasoning, the zest of half the lemon, 1 tsp of lemon juice, ¼ tsp of salt and rub all over the chicken breasts and leave to marinate for as long as you can.

Use the flat side of your knife to mash it
3

Cut the baby gem lettuce in half lengthways and cut widthways into thin shreds. Slice the tomato into ½cm slices. Finely dice the garlic and use the flat side of your knife to mash it to a pulp. Tip: If you don’t like raw garlic, peel it then put it in boiling water for 1 min then chop.

4

Mix the mayonnaise with as much garlic as you dare, 1 tsp of lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Tip: We recommend going bit by bit on the garlic and tasting as you go to get it just right.

Fry off the chicken
5

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with ½ tbsp of olive oil. Fry off the chicken for 2-3 mins on each side until brown. Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Tip: Use another pan to push down on top of the chicken to get it crispier.

6

Toss the lettuce and tomato slices in the remaining lemon juice, ¼ tsp of salt and some black pepper. Warm your flatbreads through by putting in the oven at 180 degrees for 2-3 mins.

7

Now comes the fun bit - assemble your shawarma’s. Dollop some of the garlicky lemony mayonnaise onto the flatbreads, then the lettuce and tomato. Finally, slice the chicken into strips and pile on top.
