Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and sumac. Add the chicken thighs to the mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cabbage

    While the chicken is resting, shred the savoy cabbage into thin strips and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Shawarma

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet. On each pita, layer sliced chicken, shredded savoy cabbage, and pickled Anaheim peppers. Drizzle tahini over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve

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