Chicken Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2

Cook the Chicken

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes per side until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

3

Prepare the Pita

Warm the pita bread on the grill or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.

4

Assemble the Shawarma

Place a portion of sliced chicken on each pita bread. Top with fresh vegetables and drizzle with tahini sauce. Roll up the pita and serve immediately.
