Ingredients

Shawarma Chicken

Preparation

Preparation

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, coat well, and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

2. Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

3. Slice the Chicken

Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.

4. Assemble the Pitas

Warm the pita bread, then fill each with sliced chicken, fresh vegetables (like lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers), and drizzled with tahini or garlic sauce if desired.
