Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken thighs and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, chop the lettuce, tomato, and cucumber into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Take a piece of pita bread and layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, chicken strips, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Fold the pita and serve.
