Sat - chicken shawarma on homemade naan

Recipe please??? :)

I used a recipe I found through Pinterest!

You basically marinate the chicken for a few hours in greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic & spices (they recommended cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg) then grill. Slice and serve in homemade naan wraps with romaine, cucumber, tomato. I also made a quick sauce (greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic & fresh dill).

For the naan...

Mix 2 tsp dry active yeast with 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup of very warm water. Let sit until frothy. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/3 cup greek yogurt & 1 egg and mix to combine.

In separate bowl, combine 1 cup flour with 1/2 tsp salt. Add wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until you can no longer stir it with a spoon (for me, I added about 1 more cup of flour).

Turn out onto well floured surface. Knead until dough is smooth and soft - NOT sticky (keep adding flour as needed... I probably used another 1/2 cup at least here).

Loosely cover and let rise for at least 45 minutes (I let mine rise a few hours because I wanted to get it done during nap time). Then flatten and cut into 8 pieces. Shape each into a small ball with a smooth, round top.

Heat skillet over medium and spray with nonstick spray. Roll out 1 ball at a time (wait until right before ready to cook) until about 6 inches in diameter. Place onto hot skillet and cook until big bubbles form. Flip and cook other side until golden brown.


YUM! They were really good and Loey even said "Good naan mama"
