Chicken Shawarma

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Platter

    On a serving plate, arrange the sliced chicken, a fluffy pita, mixed salad greens, and a generous scoop of hummus. Serve immediately.
