Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Shawarma Chicken Preparation

  1. 3

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

  3. 5

    Slice Chicken

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet. Once warm, cut them in half to create pockets.

  2. 7

    Assemble Hummus Shawarma

    Spread a generous amount of hummus inside each pita pocket. Top with sliced shawarma chicken, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra hummus on the side.
