It’s a shawarma shakeup. Traditionally, this Middle Eastern dish sees meat spit-roasted to succulence. Air frying returns mouth-watering results, with less oil and less mess than traditional frying techniques. Generously seasoned with our Lebanon & Beyond blend, then brushed with garlic oil, chicken breasts come out divinely tender and tasty. Set the scene with a sparkling lemon- and cilantro-dressed cucumber salad and an earthy swoosh of hummus, as you plunk down warm air-fried garlic naan bread.

Preparation
Fry the chicken
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Lightly oil the basket. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, combine ½ the garlic and a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with all but a pinch of the spices and pepper. Place the chicken* in the air fryer basket and fry, 9 min. on one side, until partially cooked. Flip and brush with the garlic oil. Fry, 3 to 5 min., until cooked through.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce. Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. In a second small bowl, combine a drizzle of oil, and the remaining garlic and spices.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, ⅓ of the cilantro, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the lettuce and cucumbers; toss well.
Fry the naan
Brush the naan with the spiced garlic oil. Working in batches, place in the air fryer basket and fry, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
Plate your dish
Divide the hummus between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the chicken and salad. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and the lemon wedges. Serve the naan on the side. Bon appétit!
