How to make chicken shawarma at home?

To make chicken shawarma at home, you will need the following ingredients:

For the marinade:

• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the chicken:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pita breads
• Lettuce, tomatoes, and any other desired toppings

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

3. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

5. Thinly slice the chicken and set it aside.

6. Grill the pita breads for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly toasted.

7. To assemble the shawarma, place a few slices of chicken, red onion, lettuce, and tomato (or any other desired toppings) on each pita bread. Roll the pita bread up tightly and serve.
