ONE SKILLET OVEN BAKED CHICKEN SHAWARMA AND RICE PILAF
This combines two of my favourite Middle Eastern foods into one pot - Chicken Shawarma and Rice Pilaf. The Chicken Shawarma is the same recipe as the one I use for grilling (recipe here) with just quantities adjusted to suit using thigh cutlets cooked on the stove. The rice pilaf has been adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's Chicken with Cardamon Rice recipe from his cookbook "Jerusalem" (one of my all time favourite cookbooks!). Note that this is not an authentic way of preparing Chicken Shawarma! Real Shawarma is cooked on a rotisserie then shaved and served in a kebab. This is my one pot rice version - Shawarma flavours, made in one pot with rice!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Mix the Spice Rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Slather onto the chicken, covering both sides.
- Optional: Marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. (Note 3)
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown.
- Remove chicken from skillet. Scrape off excess black bits stuck to the pan and discard, along with excess oil (but leave some to cook the onion).
- Add garlic and onion. Cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
- Add rice and stir so the grains are coated in oil and become a bit translucent.
- Add remaining ingredients. Place the chicken on top - it should be half submerged with the skin above the surface. Pour in the juices from the plate as well.
- Bring to simmer, then place a lid on (or cover with foil) and transfer to oven.
- Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the rice and mix the rice quickly (to evenly distribute flavour).
- Serve, garnished with cilantro/coriander and parsley if desired. I also like to serve it with a bit of plain yoghurt. (Note 4)

Steps:
- Combine the salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne and lemon zest in a bowl. Wash the chicken and pat very dry. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken. Set the chicken on a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours (to dry out the skin and promote crisp skin).
- When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Stuff the chicken with the lemon quarters, garlic and bay leaves. Arrange the onion slices to make a bed for the chicken in a large cast-iron skillet. Set the chicken on the onions and tuck the wings tips under the chicken's body. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter.
- Roast the chicken, basting once halfway through with the pan juices, until the skin is crisp and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh (do not touch bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.
MOROCCAN-SPICED CHICKEN WITH MILLET TABBOULEH
I'm mixing metaphors a bit with this dish: a little Moroccan inspired, a little Middle-Eastern inspired. But the thing is, the flavors taste delicious together. This twist on classic tabbouleh is wonderful paired with grilled seafood, meat, or tempeh, and it's great on its own too!

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: In a large ziplock bag, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and spices. Add the chicken, and marinate for at least 1 hour. (If using tempeh, use the same marinade, but for 30 minutes.)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a broiler pan or a sheet tray with wire rack by spraying with oil. Set aside.
- Make the tabbouleh: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well. Let the flavors meld for at least 20 minutes (which is perfect, since you need that time to cook the chicken).
- Remove chicken (or tempeh) from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. If your chicken has skin, place it skin-side down.
- Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, skin side up, until meat has reached 160°F and skin is crisp. Remove from heat, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
SPANISH SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARSLEY-MINT SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat your grill to high.
- Whisk together the paprika, cumin, mustard, fennel, pepper and salt in a small bowl.
- Brush the chicken with a few teaspoons of oil on both sides. Rub the breasts on the skin side with some of the rub and place on the grill, rub side down. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the Parsley-Mint Sauce. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
- Place the mint, parsley, garlic and serranos in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the honey and mustard and process until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and whisk in a few tablespoons of cold water to thin to a sauce-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN WITH MILLET PILAF
Delicious middle-eastern/indian inspired dish. Found in the March 2009 issue of Prevention. I substituted 2 cups of jasmine rice for the millet since I couldn't find any at the local grocery store.
