Sheet Pan Chicken Shawarma with Garlic Yogurt

This home-cook friendly version of the street-food classic achieves crispy, charred edges by roasting marinated chicken thighs at a high temperature on a sheet pan. It captures the authentic warmth of cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon without requiring a vertical rotisserie spit.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 large pita breads
1 cup sliced cucumbers and tomatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, half of the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until thoroughly coated in the spiced marinade.

  4. 4

    Spread the chicken out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

  5. 5

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are crispy and browned.

  6. 6

    While the chicken roasts, make the sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt with the remaining minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

  7. 7

    Remove chicken from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips against the grain.

  8. 8

    Serve the sliced chicken inside warm pita bread topped with the garlic yogurt sauce and fresh vegetables.
