Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

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

2

Cook the Chicken

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

3

Prepare the Garlic Aioli

In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

On a piece of pita bread, layer the sliced chicken, garlic aioli, pickles, and romaine lettuce. Roll the pita to enclose the filling.

5

Serve with Fries and Salad

Serve the chicken shawarma sandwich with a side of fries and a fresh salad.
