I love that they have no control over what I post.

Unlike deciding the menu for our regular family dinners.

Absolute undeniable evidence that I was born into a foodie family!

One Skillet Baked Chicken Shawarma and Rice - two Middle Eastern favorites made in one skillet! Chicken Shawarma with punchy flavours and a delicately fragrant rice pilaf with chickpeas.

Chicken Shawarma is one of my most requested recipes.

By my friends, that is.

No one in my family has ever asked me for this recipe.

Its a matter of principle.

I wonder if anyone in my family has used the recipe?

Just a handful of spices packs a serious punch!

And it is spices that I always have in stock cumin, coriander, paprika and cardamon.

So it was just a matter of time before I created a one pot version of Chicken Shawarma.

Well, not one pot.

At least, thats what I used, but it can definitely be made in a pot too!

In fact, this is ideal to make in a dutch oven.

So basically, the rice is being cooked with thebeststock in the world!

Well actually, thats just a blatant lie.

Im not passing on the chicken.

Because the spice rub for the chicken is so intense, it isnt necessary to marinate for very long.

Though it certainly would benefit from marinating overnight.

I consider this Baked Chicken Shawarma and Rice to be my midweek version.

Were half way through the week!

Back Friday with something delish for the weekend.
