Creating your One Pot Shawarma Chicken And Rice is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the shawarma spice blend, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. If you have more time, marinating for up to 2 hours is ideal.

2. Sauté Onions: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is browned on all sides.

5. Add Rice: Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, ensuring it’s well coated and mixed with the chicken and spices.

6. Pour in Broth: Carefully add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed.

7. Simmer: Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

8. Fluff and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

9. Garnish: Top with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

10. Enjoy: Serve your One Pot Shawarma Chicken And Rice hot, and enjoy the delightful flavors!
