Instructions

Creating One Pot Shawarma Chicken And Rice is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3. Sear the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken breasts to the pot. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

4. Sauté the Onions: In the same pot, add the chopped onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

5. Add the Rice: Stir in the rice, ensuring it’s coated with the oil and flavors. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes.

6. Return Chicken and Add Broth: Place the chicken back in the pot on top of the rice. Pour in the chicken broth.

7. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

8. Rest the Dish: Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This step helps the rice to fluff up.

9. Fluff and Serve: Use a fork to fluff the rice while gently mixing in the chicken.

10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish and serve.

Follow these steps, and you’ll end up with a delicious meal that will satisfy any appetite!
