Ingredients
Method
2) Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4 with the oven rack at the centre position. Fit a 23cm by 32cm baking tray with a cooling rack.
3) Remove the chicken from the marinade, taking off any excess marinade. Place the meat randomly on top of each other on the aluminium foil tray, creating 2.5cm layer of meat. Add the spinach, spreading evenly, and repeat with another 2.5cm layer of meat. Add a layer of red peppers, and finish by covering with another 2.5cm of meat.
4) Press the layers firmly together. Place the foil tray with the chicken on the rack of the baking tray and poke holes in bottom of the foil to allow excess liquid to drain. Bake in centre of the oven for 45 minutes until the chicken is firm and holds together.
5) Cut off the corners of the foil tray and push the sides down, to expose the meat so it can brown. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes or until the meat registers an internal temperature of 74C using an instant-read thermometer.
6) Remove the schawarma from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Place on a cutting board, discarding the foil, and slice into 1cm thick pieces. Serve sandwiched in chapatis and drizzled with tzatziki sauce.
Flatbread:
1) In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir in water, until a dough forms. Lightly flour a clean board and knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes. Rest the dough in a bowl covered with damp towel for 20 minutes.
2) Preheat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll the balls out on a floured board to about 18cm in diameter and 0.5cm thick.
3) Place the flatbread rounds onto the griddle. Flip when raised bumps appear on the top surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cook the second side until it turns golden. Do not cook too long or the flatbread will become brittle. Cover with a towel for up to 20 minutes before serving.
Yield: 8 (18cm) flatbread rounds
Tzatziki sauce:
1) In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together well.
2) Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Yield: 600ml
