Chicken Shawarma Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Slice the Chicken
Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Shawarma
Warm the pita bread and layer the sliced chicken on top. Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Drizzle with tahini sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve
Serve immediately while warm, with extra tahini sauce on the side.
