Yet again, I’m thrilled with the performance of my air fryer to achieve perfectly cooked chicken bites. I’m really skeptical of kitchen gadgets, but I’m using it at least 2-3 times per week. If you hate spending extra time in the kitchen and struggle to cook meats and veggies perfectly, this is the right tool.

Three factors which will ensure that the texture is perfect with this crispy chicken shawarma bowl:

  • Use cornstarch to velvet the chicken
  • Make sure the chicken pieces are well spaced apart in the air fryer / no touching at all
  • Evenly misting the chicken with olive oil (use a pump mister instead of propellant can to avoid a sticky, permanent coating on cookware

For the tahini sauce it’s important to follow the order of addition of ingredients, the mixture will get thicker and appear to clump before thinning out again.

The chicken and sauce taste amazing over romaine or iceberg lettuce, as a salad, but will do equally well over rice or cauli rice, or in a pita or wrap for portability.

This easy to prepare crispy chicken seasoned with delicious classic shawarma spice blend is a new favorite! Pair with a tangy lemon tahini sauce, tomato, and pickles in a bowl or wrap for lunch or dinner.

This recipe uses Body Nutrition Trutein protein powder (ideal texture and taste for baking). If you don’t have chocolate protein powder available, other flavors work as well. I recommend checking out Vanilla Bean, Cookies & Cream, or Red Velvet Cake. Trutein is a blend of whey, egg, and casein protein. You may need to adjust the amount of milk and cooking time with a different type of protein.

This recipe scales up well if you want to make a heap of crepes. Store the extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Separate each crepe with parchment paper, and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.

Adjust the macros for these cocoa protein crepes by changing up the toppings and fillings. For more protein, spread on nonfat Greek yogurt. Add more fruit for additional carbs. For fats, spread on nut butter. Peanut butter and banana would be a great combo.
