Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Take a piece of pita or flatbread, add the sliced chicken, pickles, and top with garlic sauce. Wrap the bread around the filling tightly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken shawarma sandwiches with a side of crispy fries.
