For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 500g (approx. 1 pound) chicken breast, thinly sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 lemon, juice and zest

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup tahini (sesame paste)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Water, as needed to adjust consistency

  • Salt, to taste

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

For Serving:

  • Pita bread or flatbreads

  • Cucumber, thinly sliced

  • Tomatoes, sliced

  • Red onions, sliced

  • Parsley, chopped

  • Pickles

Instructions: 1. Chicken Marinade:

  • In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and mix well to ensure every piece is well coated. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. Cooking the Chicken:

  • Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until nicely browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.

3. Preparing the Tahini Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix together tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Add chopped parsley if desired and mix.

4. Assembling the Shawarma:

  • Warm the pita bread. Spread a generous tablespoon of tahini sauce on each bread.

  • Add the cooked chicken, and top with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley, and pickles.

  • Roll the pita bread around the fillings, making sure it’s securely wrapped.

5. Serving:

  • Serve immediately, possibly with fries or a side salad.
