Avoid the oven! If the outside is hot, eat out of the pot! As usual, this recipe looks so good!! If you "I Spy with My Eye" a goof, let me know.

We made your version of the chicken & it turned out so good. We assembled it with homemade hummus to spread on pita bread & then added tomato, lettuce & cucumbers. Yum. Thanks! 😊
This is so awesome! All the Shawarma I bought through the years, now I know I can make them at home. I heard some of the vendors cheat and add butter in between chicken breast when roasting. That’s!
I am picking up my 1st Instant Pot this week and this will be my 1st recipe ! The white sauce and hummus sound heavenly ! Thank you for such cute videos :)
Excellent video! ❤ shawarma and hummus...and the white sauce looks so delish! So that was your favourite meal in Paris? I'm surprised by that but it must have been good! The one time I went, believe it or not it was a handmade burger...it was to die for! We are pretty spoiled for good shawarma in Ottawa but I could see making this at the cottage when I have a huge gang to feed. Again great video and love the banter between you and the hubby...makes for a fun video. Cheers!
definitely going to make this! we have been looking for a good shawarma recipe for a long time as we love biking down to english bay and getting it downtown. now we can make it in our own home! YAY! Thank you!
You've introducing me to something new today. I've never heard of chicken shawarma before. It looks delicious and I'm definitely going to try your recipe. Thank you Flo and Dude!
Your recipes save me, Flo! I now have chicken thighs marinating in the fridge for tonight ( thighs probably not ideal, but what can I say, they were deboned and a bargain....) and this will save us as we are having a heat wave here! Everything is getting made in the Instant Pot (chickpeas, rice etc) and then I will brown up the thighs quickly on the BBQ. Always love your presentation and as someone who makes instructional videos I can tell you your pacing is just right!
Looks delicious. That would make a great 'dump' recipe to have in the freezer ( not that I'm ever organised enough to do that ). I love hummus but have never had any success with homemade. I'd like to try your way! Really enjoy the banter between you and your husband.
For a more authentic shawarma I suggest you add cardamom and lemon zest to the spice mix, and pair chicken shawarma with garlic mayo and pickles. Wrap it in a sandwish and toast.
Have you ever added any veggies (roasted) tour hummus? Roasted red peppers or roasted carrots are both relish. I am definitely going to cook my chickpeas first next time l make it, maybe tomorrow as l am anxious to try it your way. I love your videos & l just found you tonight. I have the IP but haven't used it a lot because l just don't know what l'm doing. Glad l found you. Your videos are the best l have found & l feel more confident now, so thanks for the inspiration.
+Katherine Haught Thanks so much, Katherine! So glad you are enjoying the channel! Did you make the hummus? I have not made it with roasted veggies. I have also heard it's delicious when you add meat as well.
Another winner....:) May have to do this one this weekend. Depends on the weather. I will probably cut the time in the IP to 4 minutes and finish off on the outdoor grill. I'm thinking maybe some feta as well...yum...LOL
I made it today for supper. I used your recipe for the Chicken Shawarma. I used the IP and only cooked it for 4 minutes. And finished off on the grill. Was great. I didn't make the Hummus as my wife doesn't like it. So I made a seasoned rice and cooked down and thickened the sauce made in the IP. I served it over a seasoned rice and along with some pita that I heated on the grill. I couldn't help myself as I made some Taziki sauce to go with it as well. Thanks
Hi Sylvie! Java Junkie has been amazing in helping me with posting recipes here. I haven't had time to keep with the blog but hope to get back to it soon.
With all due respect, I love and respect Flo with all my being. What you perceive as "condescending" is nothing but everyday playful banter. No apologies here if that makes you feel uncomfortable 🤷🏻♂️ This is us.

Thanks, Kellie! I know, right? We went back a second time for the shawarma during the 1 week we were in Paris. It was one of those order from a window on the street places. Way better than the expensive sit down restaurant where we had duck, steak and frites and fish. Although we did enjoy the razor clams. I think about those a lot too! 😉
I made this last week and it was GREAT! I put the chicken under the broiler for a couple of minutes, but I think we could just eat out of the pot. Made good leftovers as well.
I just enjoy you guys very much. Thank you for another great recipe. I think I am going to make butter chicken tonight. Have a great Sunday!!----Tressa Daigle
I made this tonight using chicken breasts that I cut in half vertically and cooked for 9 minutes. It was an easy, tasty recipe! I wish there was a print recipe button to push.
Flo and Dude, thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipies! Though I have Instant Pot cook books, I often cook from your RU-vid videos. Thank you again!!
This looks absolutely amazing! As an American, I lived in the Middle East for 10 years. The shawarma's they served were on pita bread, with chicken, french fries and tahini sauce. I'm so missing them and your recipe is the closest I've seen to what they made in Saudi Arabia (made by Egyptians). Thanks for sharing this recipe. :)
