Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Pita bread or flatbreads for serving
Your favorite toppings: tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, red onion, pickles, garlic sauce, tahini sauce, or tzatziki.
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, spices, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high.
Remove chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. After resting, slice the chicken into strips.
Warm your pita or flatbreads, then layer in the chicken, followed by your toppings of choice.
Fold up your shawarma, take a big bite, and enjoy!
