step by step
Method
- Step 1
Marinate the chicken
- In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, shawarma spice blend, paprika, cumin, grated garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, salt and pepper.
- Mix well so every piece is coated, then cover and let marinate.
- Step 2
Sear until crispy
- Heat a large pan over high heat until very hot.
- Add the chicken in a single layer and sear without moving it so it forms a crispy crust.
- Flip and continue cooking until deeply browned and cooked through.
- Step 3
Assemble the shawarma
- Warm the pita breads.
- Fill each pita with the crispy chicken, sliced tomato, red onion and pickles.
- Drizzle generously with tahini sauce and roll up tightly.
- Step 4
Serve
- Serve the shawarma immediately while the chicken is still crispy.
