Time to get our GREEK on!  This Chicken Shawarma recipe is just the right amount of spice. I like it wrapped in flatbreads with a creamy, tahini or tzatziki dressing or you can plate it with a side of rice and a greek salad - perfect for both hot or cold weather!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Shawarma

  • 8 boneless chicken thighs

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 large lemon (juiced)

  • 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil

blank

  • 6 pita pockets

  • Baby arugula or any greens of your choice

  • Tahini Sauce or Tzatziki Sauce

  • Kalamata Olives (optional)

  • 1 Tomatoes, sliced (optional) 

  • 1 cucumber

Directions

  1. Place chicken thighs in a bowl with oil, shawarma spice, and lemon juice. Toss together, cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate.  Marinate for 3  hours or overnight (if you aren't working with a lot of time feel free to cut or skip all together the marinating time). 

  2. On stove top, heat pan on medium-high.  No need for oil because there is oil in the marinade. Cook 4 - 5 mins then flip and cook for another 3-4 mins.   Take off stove, cover with foil and let rest a few minutes.
