Easy Chicken Shawarma

Warmly spiced roasted chicken shaved thin and wrapped in flatbread — marinating for at least an hour (longer if you can) is what actually builds the shawarma flavour, rather than it just tasting like spiced chicken.

Ingredients

800gchicken thigh, sliced thin
3 tbspshawarma spice blend
6flatbread to serve
to tasteyogurt sauce and pickles

Instructions

1

Toss the thinly sliced chicken thigh with the shawarma spice blend, then marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavour.

2

Heat a pan or grill until very hot, then roast or pan-fry the chicken in batches so it chars at the edges rather than steaming.

3

Cook until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred, then warm the flatbread briefly.

4

Pile the shawarma chicken into the warm flatbread with yogurt sauce and pickles, then serve immediately.
