For the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

Method

Cooking and Assembly Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs, shawarma spice mix, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken 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 before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a microwave. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on the pita, add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced chicken, and a sprinkle of the house-made onion mix (sliced onion with a pinch of salt and pepper).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your chicken shawarma sandwich!
