Quick Chicken Shawarma Taco in under 30 minutes | WEEKNIGHTING

- Here's my take on a quick chicken shawarma "taco" that you can make on a weeknight. It gives me everything I want out of a shawarma sandwich including the deeply flavorful charred chicken, but is a little lighter than the traditional version and comes together in 30 minutes or less. I've eaten this meal literally 5 times in a row between R&D and leftovers and can honestly say that I'm not sick of it yet.

RECIPE
------
CHCKEN:
▪2lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
▪200g or 3/4c plain greek yogurt
▪20g lemon juice or juice of 1/2 large lemon
▪10g or 1Tbsp garlic powder
▪1g or 2tsp dried thyme
▪5g or 2 1/2tsp ground cumin
▪1g or 2tsp dried oregano
▪2g ground coriander
▪5g garam masala
▪1g or 1tsp ground black pepper
▪20g or 3 1/2 tsp salt
Add all ingredients to bowl and mix to combine and coat chicken well. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 20min or up to 8 hours. Add a little less salt if marinating for 8hrs.
Preheat broiler to high with oven rack set as close to broiler as possible.
Line sheet tray with foil. place thighs on foil and cook under broiler for 10-12 minutes until a bit of char has developed. After desired amount of char on side 1, flip thighs to second side and continue cooking for another 10-12mins or until internal temp reaches 165F/74C or above. ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON CHICKEN while under broiler. Things can burn quickly and cook time varies depending on your oven.
Thinly slice.
------
TAHINI SAUCE:
▪150g or 3/4c tahini (loose texture preferred as shown @1:27)
▪30g or 2Tbsp lemon juice
▪100-120g or 1/4c+ water (use more water if your tahini is on the thick side)
▪2g or 1/3tsp salt
▪1 garlic clove, roughly sliced
Add ingredients into a high sided container and blend with immersion blender (or in conventional blender) until well blended and saucy.
------
TOMATO CUCUMBER "Pico de Gallo"
▪150g or 3/4c diced tomatoes
▪125-150g or 3/4c diced cucumbers
▪10g or about 1/4 bunch of parsley, chopped
▪3g or 1/2tsp salt
Mix to combine.
------
PICKLED PEPPERS (pepperoncini's also work if you don't have time to make these, but i like the sweet pop of my homemade pepper)
▪6-7 banana peppers, cut into rings / 1 quart
▪400g or 1 2/3c water
▪400g or 1 2/3c white distilled vinegar
▪80g or 1/3c sugar
▪8g or 1/2Tbsp salt
Combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan. Bring to boil. Add peppers and stir to submerge. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
------
ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS:
▪Flour Tortillas (I'm using store bought today, but you can find a recipe for homemade in this vid: • FRIED SHRIMP TACOS wit... )
▪Sliced dill pickles (I'm using bubbies for this recipe)
▪Sambal chili sauce
▪Thinly shredded lettuce (I'm using little gem here)
------
TO BUILD SHWARMA TACOS:
Heat flour tortillas in a nonstick skillet over medium until soft. Keep warm in tortilla warmer. Build tacos by adding chopped chicken, 2-3 spoons of pico de gallo, pickled pepper slices, sliced dill pickle chips, sambal to taste, plenty tahini sauce, and a generous handful of shredded lettuce.

Ok, but can we all just agree that "Weeknighting" is the perfect title for this? Really wanna make this recipe now.
🤙🏻🤙🏻so glad people are digging the idea of this series
@@BrianLagerstrom SUPER great idea! I'm all for quick cook up that tastes home cooked. I like how you put fresh in everything you do. I'm noticing a huge improvement in my meals with this upgrade.
@@BrianLagerstrom Brilliant idea - big fan and will be making these this week.
That machine gun sound clip for the garlic slicing really got me haha
The king of the weeknight warrior is here!
That was actual speed
Great job Bri! You added the most important element of all *_Char_* . It's probably the 4th most important ingredient in realistic shawarma!
Thanks Obi! I hope I did not commit any sacrilege here haha
@@BrianLagerstrom Not at all Bri! You got all the components and even the garam masala is a good substitute for Middle Eastern 7 spice!
@@MiddleEats You're both awesome! Make a Chicken Ghallaba please!! :D
@@BrianLagerstrom Sambal is not a bad sub for shata, and well done on the pico bridge.
Waooo, My two favorites creator known each other.
A colaboration Will be apreciated.
Love you, chefs.
At this point, I just look forward to Mr. Lagerstrom's recipes because we've made three of them and they've all turned out AWESOME.
So glad to hear it, thanks for watching
That quick cut of audio when the chicken landed on the cutting board found me lol Love the series. I'll be making this soon.
Super pumped to be getting two episodes a week. Don't burn yourself out Bri!
That looks so good! I recently found this channel and it’s now one of my favorites.
Thanks for being here!
This is a banger of a recipe and a go-to option when I have chicken thighs in the fridge. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
The tomato trick with the cutting is gold. You always manage to cover something that I need to up my cooking game in every video!
Finally, an Internet chef that recognizes the amazingness of sambal. Far superior to sriracha in every way. The heat is better and the flavor is WAY better.
Agree
Love these weeknight videos Chef. This one looks great!
I was super hyped for this video! Can't wait to make these!
Thanks Bri! Looks good and easy to prep for. Love it.
I appreciate your energy so much. Super excited that you're boosting the output!
Bravo !!! Love it 😍
Wow, this is AMAZING
Looks mighty tasty Bri!!
Weeknights is a dope series. Thanks Bri!
Absolutely loving these DIY-at-home-on-a-weeknight recipes. Kickass stuff
LOVE. THIS. SERIES!
Love the WEEKNIGHTING recipes.
Hey Bri, great recipe! Turned out delicious.
Oh Wow!! This looks so soooo good! 💖
I always look forward to your videos coming out! Can’t wait to try this recipe out!
Yum. Will try it this week. Thanks for sharing.
You always give good advice!! THANK YOUUUU!!
This Weeknighting series is gonna be A BANGER!!!
Dude Yes! Reading our minds Bri, thanks!
Awesome Bri, the finished product looks excellent and I cannot wait to give this a try
I love your "Weeknighting" series.
Thank you very much!
Brah, this is the restaurant quality at home experience that i’m tuning in for, legit weeknight dinners bringing the flavor. Another great taco recipe. Cheers, solid demo, right on
Fantastic simplified take on shawarma and changes up my the flavor on my typical weeknight chicken tacos. This absolutely will become part of my weekly rotation!
So glad we're getting 2 videos a week. I was looking for a shwarma recipe for tomorrow. Perfect timing. Can't wait to try it. Thank you!!
Love the weeknighting idea, quick and tasty to complement the more labor intensive recipes when I have more time.
This brought us so much joy. Thanks man.
Great eats. Thanks for sharing
Looks awesome Bri man
Great idea for a series.
I’ll try this. Simple single guy. I need satisfying food. Thanks.
I made this today and it was amazing. Thank you Brian.love your bread recipes too.
I love this idea. Great, accessible, real recipes for normal foodies. Thank you.
Thank you for showing this dish
Loving these weeknighting vids. Been looking for ways I can cook and be creative in the kitchen without hours of planning and prep.
Love the channel, but this one in particular has been a game-changer for our weekday dinners. Thanks!
Hi Bri! Really like the taco series. Great tip on tomatoes, using vine ripened ones off season and how to cut them! Take care and peace!
Phenomenal! Subbed in a pita pocket for the tortilla and watched the family devour them. Thank you!
One of my all time favorite dishes
Trying this tomorrow! Thanks my guy!
Looks great. I find it interesting that shawarma in Canada (or Ontario at least) looks different. The shawarma I am used to has pickled cabbage, pickled turnips, pickles, onion and tomato. Usually hummus, tahini and hot sauce are the condiments.
Almost 200k keep it going!!
I love how original this recipe is.
Thanks for your many ideas. This looks great and will no doubt be in my rotations.
I will enjoy this series for sure Bri boy
Wow, that's a great show! Ty!
So pumped for the series!!
Thanks! Me too
I made this last night and thankfully I made extra. It is sooooo good!!!! Thank you for another awesome recipe
You have the BEST video's. I love your humor and really enjoy your recipes. Thank you
This has become one of my three favorite cooking channels, along with Food Wishes (of course) and Sam The Cooking Guy. You make learning good cooking skills fun, and the recipes are great; that's what it's about.
I'll respectully add Ethan chebowski, Adam Ragusa, binging with babish and "not another cooking show". Along with the ones you've mentioned, they've really elevated CZcams for cooking.
0:22 is priceless. Your videos make me laugh almost/if not every time!
I'm becoming a huge taco fan thanks to you Brian (not a big thing over here in the UK), the shrimp one is off the charts, and I'm making this ASAP, I even made a taco board in my workshop to hold these bad boys while the family organise themselves. Keep it up man.
Welcome to the club t8yman!! Taco's rock!! My son in law will eat anything if in a taco lol
Great video and recipe! God bless!
I tried this. It looks so simple yet it tastes so delicious and balanced. Substantial yet refreshing at the same time. Thank you!!
Looks delicious! Thanks Bri!
Thanks Drums
Congrats on 200k subs Brian! 👍
That looks great, thank you!
Oh god! Seems reeeealy delicious! And doesn't takes so much time ! 👌
Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe
Love the weeknighting idea!! I need something in a reasonable timeframe with available ingredients and I love some cultural diversity in my food.
Helps me get familiar with different flavor profiles so when I do want to go out I will be more adventurous with my restaurant choices.
Plus, the extra proteins are good leftovers for salads or veggie bowls. Thank you!!
Thank you for your channel! I’ve never been into cooking, but I’m trying make things easier for my wife who is super into good food! This is one of the first things I’ve made that she’s asked me to make again and actually said “we should have company over to have this”! I’ve made it three times now and appreciate you content so much! I’ve been checking out a ton of your other videos! Thanks again.
I recently subbed and am working my way through previous videos. I think this one is my fav thus far in terms of the sound effects, pauses for emphasis, and other humorous aspects. Oh, and the food looks great too. 😂
I love your reasoning on this being "fun food". So easy to get caught up in the whole "but this isn't authentic therefore I shalt not make it" thing and forget that sometimes, if it tastes good, go for it. Definitely going to be making this this week! Thank you!
I made this for dinner today and it was amazing!!! So easy and tasty. I just had to change the foil once because the marinade that wasn’t on the chicken was burning too much. Thank you so much for the recipe! I’m excited for this weeknighting series lol.
So tolle Rezepte. Schön gemacht.
Really nice recipe 👍
Made this yesterday and I gotta say....absolutely, insanely delicious
Made this for dinner tonight. It was super easy and a huge hit.
Love this idea. Lots of grocery stores near me sell small pitas which I think would be a great substitute for the tortilla. First time watching your videos. Definitely going to check out some more.
This is excellent, more people need to start making shawarma at home, it's so easy! I took it one step further and bought a standing rotisserie grill, it's amazing for shawarma and it wasn't expensive at all. Can really recommend it to anyone who wants to make dishes like these.
Definitely adding some ingredients to my shopping list after this one, that chicken looks freaking great
those pickled peppers looked so good and easy!
A taco! What a Great idea!
Looks GOOD! THANKS
Love it! Been craving some good shawarma!
Hey, perfect timing! I was just looking at the packages of boneless/skinless chicken thighs in my freezer, wondering what to do, and wa-la Chick Shawarma! Looks incredible, thanks for the tips.
Super jazzed we have another video. Love the series dude.
Almost 200k subscribers, well done, Been here since 40k. Keep up the great work!
This looks delic. Drooling 🤤
Subscribed! Great channel Brian and I look forward to watching your videos. Very inspirational stuff for the home chef.
And that chicken marinade is fantastic. I’ve seen a similar one in a contemporary Greek cookbook (kokkari), is one I use often.
Love what you’re sharing with the community. 🙌🙌🙌
Love fun food. Specially, when you get to improvise with the ingredients you have at home
Let’s goooooo just what I was looking for Bri :D love the weeknight meals
Thanks my J
Fire title. This series is gonna be great! So happy to see Brian fully hitting his stride. Don’t forget us when your channel takes off 😂
Just made this for dinner tonight and OMG so so delicious! Definitely will make again…and again.and…
Best recipe ever!! I will be eating this 5 days a week now !
Made this tonight, delish!
This is a really great recipe. I’ve made it many times in the last few months and we love it more each time. Thank you!!! Your Gyros recipe is next.
Great job with this one you just got a new subscriber!
I’m pumped for the future of Weeknighting
Hey Bri! The hubs and I are coming at you from Glen Ellyn, IL! Loving your recipes and the way your Chicago personality is front and center. I gotta say we're on the same wavelength with this one, I have some shawarma marinating in the fridge. Now we have some dope topping ideas to go with it! Keep up the awesome work.
Made this yesterday Bri. Thanks for another keeper recipe. Everything we've made from your channel is super legit and straight forward. Keep up the killer work. Thank you!
Thanks so much! So glad it worked out for you
Excellent recipe Brian! I will definitely be trying this one. For the pickled peps, I like to add a pinch of turmeric. It brightens the color and doesn't affect the taste in a bad way at all. Cheers!
Just made it - added more heat here and there but oo la la Bri. Dope. Thanks
