Chicken Shawarma Directions
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of plain yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
Assemble the Shawarma
Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute. Stuff each pita with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, grilled chicken, crumbled feta, and pickled cucumber. Drizzle with garlic yogurt sauce.
