Yield:

Ingredients:

1 3/4 tbsp ground cumin

2 3/4 tbsp turmeric powder

3 3/4 tbsp ground coriander

4 3/4 tbsp garlic powder

5 3/4 tbsp paprika

6 1/2 tsp ground cloves

7 Salt

8 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

9 1 large onion, thinly sliced

10 1 large lemon, juice of

11 1/3 cup Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil

To Serve

1 6 pita pockets

2 Tahini sauce or Greek Tzatziki sauce

3 Baby arugula

4 3-ingredient Mediterranean Salad

5 Pickles or kalmata olives (optional)

Instructions:

1 In a small bowl, mix the cumin, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, sweet paprika and cloves. Set aside the shawarma spice mix for now.

2 Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt on both sides, then thinly slice into small bite-sized pieces.

3 Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the shwarma spices and toss to coat. Add the onions, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss everything together again. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight (if you don't have time, you can cut or skip marinating time)

4 When ready, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

5 Spread the marinated chicken with the onions in one layer on a large lightly-oiled baking sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes in the 400 degrees F heated-oven. For a more browned, crispier chicken, move the pan to the top rack and broil very briefly (watch carefully). Remove from the oven.

6 While the chicken is roasting, prepare the pita pockets.

7 To serve, open pita pockets up. Spread a little tahini sauce or Tzatziki sauce, add chicken shawarma, arugula, Mediterranean salad and pickles or olives, if you like. Serve immediately!
