Chicken Shawarma-Style Doner Kebab

Marinate the Chicken

1. 1In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
2. 2Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to ensure each piece is well coated with the marinade.
3. 3Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2-4 hours (or overnight) for best flavor.

Cook the Chicken

1. 1Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
2. 2Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, if using, or place them directly onto the grill or grill pan.
3. 3Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. If using skewers, rotate them to ensure even cooking.
4. 4Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Assemble the Kebabs

1. 1Warm the pita or flatbreads.
2. 2Slice the cooked chicken thinly, mimicking a traditional doner style, or serve chunks.
3. 3Fill the warm pitas with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and the cooked chicken.
4. 4Drizzle generously with tahini sauce or garlic yogurt sauce.
5. 5Fold or roll the pitas and serve immediately.
