Instructions
- Shallow-poach the chicken: To make the shawarma, start by shallow-poaching the chicken in a grill pan with butter, 1/3 cup of water, salt, garlic powder, and white pepper over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, until it reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Make the toppings: Slice an onion, mix it with sumac, olive oil, and lemon juice for added flavor. Prepare white cabbage coleslaw by shredding two cups of cabbage, sprinkling with salt, and letting it rest for 10 minutes to wilt.
- Grill the chicken: After the chicken is cooked, preheat the grill to medium-high, lightly oil it with butter, and grill the chicken for 2-4 minutes per side, until browned.
- Assemble the shawarma: Warm tortillas or Arabic bread, then layer with fried chips, grilled chicken, coleslaw, and sumac onions. Add parsley and roll it up. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce, mayonnaise, or garlic toum.
