Prep Time: 1 hour (including marination)
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ready Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Shawarma:

• 500 grams boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Salt to taste

For the Shawarma Roll:

• Flatbread or pita bread
• Thinly sliced tomatoes
• Thinly sliced cucumbers
• Thinly sliced red onions
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Pickles (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to make the marinade for the chicken.
2. Add the sliced chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat the chicken pieces evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Make sure to flip the chicken pieces halfway through for even cooking. Remove from heat.
5. Warm the flatbread or pita bread in a toaster or on a heated skillet for a few seconds.
6. Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce on the warmed flatbread.
7. Arrange the cooked chicken slices, thinly sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, chopped parsley, and pickles (if using) on one side of the flatbread.
8. Roll the flatbread tightly to form a roll, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make more rolls.
10. Cut the rolls in half and serve immediately.

Note: You can customize the fillings by adding other ingredients like shredded lettuce, sliced bell peppers, or hot sauce according to your preference.

This recipe serves approximately 4 rolls. Adjust the quantity of ingredients based on your requirements. Enjoy the flavorful and satisfying Chicken Shawarma Roll!
