Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and parsley. Mix them in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Shawarma

    Take a piece of pita bread, spread tahini sauce on it, add the sliced chicken, and top with the vegetable mixture and a drizzle of lemon juice. Wrap the pita around the filling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra tahini sauce on the side.
