Recipe of cooking chicken shawarma

chicken shawarma:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Pita bread or flatbreads
• Toppings: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tahini sauce, and hot sauce (optional)
  

Instructions:

1. 1. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

2. 2. Add the thinly sliced chicken to the marinade, making sure it's well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to let the flavors infuse into the chicken.

3. 3. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. If using a stovetop pan, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

4. 4. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side or until it's fully cooked and nicely charred.

5. 5. Warm your pita bread or flatbreads either on the grill for a few seconds or in the oven.

6. 6. Assemble your chicken shawarma wraps by placing the cooked chicken on the warm pita bread and adding your preferred toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, and sauces like tahini or hot sauce.

7. 7. Roll up the pita bread to form a wrap and serve immediately.
