Instant Pot Recipes

Recipe for Chicken Shawarma Marinade, Cook and Wrap.

I love chicken shawarma and have been using a bottled Shawarma to Marinate and then cook in Instant Pot, which provides a softer and juicier finished chicken. In today’s video, I try out a Shawarma marinade made from scratch using seasoning I picked up today at Bailey’s Meat Market in Bedford. I will post a link to their information below as well as a link where you can watch a video tour of the store.

Marinate Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of Olive oil
1 Garlic clove minced
I Tbsp. of Fresh Lemon juice
1/4 Tsp. of Lemon zest
5 Tbsps. (rounded) of Abido Shawarma Spice

Ingredients Chicken:
1 Lb. Boneless chicken thighs cut into strips.

Directions.
Use a whisk to mix all Marinade ingredients thoroughly. Place marinade and sliced chicken in an air tight container (or freezer bag) and ensure the chicken is mixed with all the marinade. Then seal and place in fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Once Marinated, place 1 cup of water in instant pot along with trivet. Use tinfoil to place overtop of the trivet and ensure that the tinfoil extends high enough vertically to hold in all the juices as the chicken is cooked. Use tongs or a fork to put chicken on the tinfoil liner then, place on high pressure for 10 minutes and let naturally release for 5 min.

Once cook time has finished check for doneness and if ready, scoop chicken to a plate or bowl, using a slotted spoon so that you leave the oil and fat in the foil. REMINDER: Chicken needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165 F.

Wrap Ingredients:
Tortilla
Lettuce (chopped)
Green Onion (chopped)
Tomato (diced)
Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce

These are the ingredients I like for my wraps, but if you enjoy other flavours with your Shawarma, that is perfectly fine. 🙂

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy!
