Shawarma Filling

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3

Assemble the Sandwich

Warm the pita bread or flatbreads slightly. Place sliced chicken on the bread, then top with fresh vegetables and drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce. Wrap the bread around the filling and serve.
