Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shawarma Sandwich

    Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips. Take a pita bread, add a generous amount of chicken, and top it with sliced pickles and garlic sauce. Roll up the pita to form a sandwich.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, with extra garlic sauce on the side if desired.
