Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  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 and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Warm the pita bread slightly. Place the chicken strips in the pita bread and top with pickles, pickled turnip, sliced tomato, shredded lettuce, and tahini sauce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Shawarma Sandwich!
