Pita Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Pita Shawarma Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

    While the chicken is resting, warm the pita bread on the grill or in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes until soft.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Shawarma

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. On each pita, layer the chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, a drizzle of tahini, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the filling, serve warm, and enjoy!
