Ingredients
Step-by-Step
In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Warm the pita bread according to package instructions, either in the oven or on a skillet.
To assemble the shawarma, place the cooked chicken in the warm pita bread. Top with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce and a scoop of pickled vegetables.
Serve the chicken shawarma immediately, while the pita is still warm.
