chicken schwarma

 

Delicious!  Really delicious.

The more you put in your naan bread the better.  I love the tzatziki and red pepper hummus and pepperoncini.  Maybe those things are not traditional but SO delicious, nonetheless.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

2 cloves garlic, minced

kosher salt and black pepper

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips

1 onion, halved and sliced into half-moons

naan bread or pita bread, warmed

toppings: tzatziki sauce, red pepper hummus, sliced pepperoncini, sliced tomato, etc.

Combine olive oil, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, turmeric, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper into a bowl.  Add the chicken and onions and toss to coat evenly.  

Heat a skillet and saute the chicken on medium-high until cooked through and browned.

Use the bread, chicken and toppings to assemble sandwiches.
