If you love the bold, aromatic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine but want a hands-off, weeknight-friendly meal, this Slow Cooker Chicken Shawarma is about to become your new go-to. Tender chicken breasts are slow cooked in a fragrant blend of garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and a hint of cayenne, then enriched with olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for that signature tangy depth. By the time it’s ready, the chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender, bursting with flavor, and perfect for piling onto warm pita or naan bread. Top it with diced tomatoes, cucumber, crumbled feta, and fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish—or serve it over fluffy white rice for a hearty, comforting bowl.

Start by placing the chicken in the bowl of a slow cooker.
Combine the spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and black pepper) in a large bowl. Add the garlic, olive oil, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
Pour this over the chicken, making sure to completely cover the chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred, then return to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce. Alternately, you can shred in the slow cooker. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Make sure to prepare enough for leftovers!
To serve, spoon rice into each bowl. Top with the shredded chicken, and garnish with toppings of your choice, diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, crumbled feta, fresh chopped parsley, etc. You can also add naan or pita bread for scooping. Enjoy!
