Marinade

Method

Marination

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground paprika, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and plain yogurt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.

  3. 5

    Rest Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  4. 6

    Slice Chicken

    After resting, slice the chicken thighs into strips for serving.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare Toppings

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the toppings by dicing the cucumber and tomatoes, slicing the red onion, and chopping the fresh parsley.

  2. 8

    Assemble Shawarma

    On each piece of pita bread, place a generous amount of sliced chicken. Top with diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, chopped parsley, and drizzle with tahini sauce.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the assembled shawarmas immediately while warm, accompanied by any leftover tahini sauce.
