Chicken Shawarma Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

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

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Slice the Chicken

   Once rested, slice the chicken into thin strips.

4. 4

   Assemble the Shawarma

   Warm the pita bread on the grill for a minute. Place sliced chicken on the bread, and top with pickles, lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion. Drizzle with extra garlic sauce if desired.

5. 5

   Serve

   Wrap the shawarma in the pita and serve immediately with additional pickles on the side.
