Good Karma Schawarma


From food network, guy's big bite, nomadic dishes. I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. [sometimes i cheat and marinate the chicken as the recipe calls for but then just bake the chicken. i then make wraps with the chicken, tzatziki sauce, fresh spinach leaves, chopped tomato, thinly sliced onion and store bought flat bread.] the tzatziki sauce is very good. You can substitute 1 1/2 - 2 t. Garlic powder if you do not have fresh garlic cloves. I also sometimes use fresh dill or 1/2 t. Dried dill in place of the fresh mint leaves.

Steps


In a large bowl , combine yogurt with garlic , onion , vinegar , parsley , oregano , salt , cumin pepper , red chili flakes , and sage.
Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f with oven rack in center.
Fit a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet with a cooling rack.
Remove chicken from marinade , taking off excess marinade.
Place meat randomly on top of each other on the aluminum foil tray , creating 1-inch of meat.
Add spinach , spreading evenly , and repeat with another 1-inch layer of meat.
Add a layer of red bell peppers , and finish by covering with another inch of meat.
Press layers firmly together.
Remove foil tray with chicken to the baking sheet.
Poke holes in bottom of foil to allow excess liquid to drain.
Bake in center of oven for 45 minutes until chicken is firm and holds together.
Cut corners of tray and push the sides of foil down , to expose meat to brown.
Continue to cook for another 30 minutes or until the meat.
