Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, and salt.
Ca. 2 min.
2
Add the sliced chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to ensure all pieces are well coated.
Ca. 1 min.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Ca. 2 t.
Kokkens note: Marinating longer will result in more tender and flavorful chicken.
4
Heat the cooking olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.
5
Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the chicken in batches.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Overcrowding the pan will steam the chicken instead of browning it.
6
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is deeply browned and cooked through.
Ca. 10 min.
7
Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Warm the pita bread according to package instructions, typically in a dry pan or microwave.
Ca. 1 min.
9
To assemble the shawarma, spread garlic sauce inside each warm pita.
Ca. 1 min.
10
Fill the pita with the cooked chicken, diced tomato, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and fresh parsley.
Ca. 1 min.
11
Serve immediately.
