Chicken Shawarma Recipe

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt to taste until smooth. Adjust the water for desired consistency.

Assemble the Shawarma

Slice the cooked chicken thinly and place it in pita bread. Drizzle with garlic sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges if desired.
