Notes
Recipe adapted from Every Day Easy Air Fryer: 100 Recipes Bursting with Flavor by Urvashi Pitre.Tips for Making This Air Fryer Chicken Shawarma Bowl Recipe
It is important to use chicken thigh meat for this recipe so that the meat doesn't dry out during cooking.
It may seem like a lot of spices to add, but it is sooooo worth it. The spice marinade is what gives your chicken all that amazing Middle Eastern flavour!
You can also add tahini, chili and/or hummus to your shawarma bowl.
If not following a low carb eating plan, you can add rice or chickpeas to your bowl, or serve some flat bread on the side.
