Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Ground coriander
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces/cups Gluten-free pita bread or rice
- 1 Red onion, thinly sliced

- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well to form a marinade.
Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss the chicken in the marinade until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the pan in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.
Warm the gluten-free pita bread in the oven or according to package instructions, if using.
Serve the cooked chicken shoarma with warm gluten-free pita bread or over a bed of rice. Add sliced red onion, tomatoes, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Optionally, serve with your choice of gluten-free sauces such as tahini or garlic sauce for extra flavor.
