👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the shawarma spice blend; mix well to coat all chicken pieces.
2. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or preferably several hours in the refrigerator for best flavor.
3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water, and a pinch of garlic; adjust consistency as needed.
5. Warm the pita bread briefly in the microwave, oven, or on the skillet until soft and pliable.
6. Assemble the shawarma: spread tahini sauce generously inside each warm pita, then fill with cooked chicken, sliced tomatoes, onions, shredded lettuce, and pickled cucumbers.
