Chicken Shawarma
Method
Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs to the mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Slice the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble the Shawarma
Warm the pita bread slightly. Place a portion of the sliced chicken on each pita bread, add sliced pickles, and drizzle garlic sauce over the top. Roll or fold the pita to enclose the filling.
Serve
Serve immediately with extra garlic sauce on the side.
