@nelnourish: we’re in.. the Middle East I guess! (so many countries eat shawarma idk which to choose lol) 🥙❤️ Pita Bread - 8 small pitas / 4 large - 2 teaspoons instant yeast or quick-rising yeast - 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for brushing - 1 cup warm water + a bit more if needed - 1.5 teaspoons salt - 2.5 cups flour, spooned and leveled (equal parts all-purpose white & whole wheat) - more flour for rolling Chicken - 1 chicken breast, sliced thinly - 2 tbsp cup full fat yogurt - 1 tbsp olive oil - 1/2 a lemon juice - 1 clove garlic, minced - 1 tsp ground cumin - 1/2 tsp ground paprika - 1/2 tsp ground turmeric - 1/2 tsp ground allspice - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper - 1/2 tsp salt - 1/4 tsp cayenne - olive oil, for pan to cook Creamy garlic sauce - 2 tablespoons labneh - 1 tbsp olive oil - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt - juice of 1/2 a lemon - 1 garlic, minced - salt & pepper Garnish - pickled onions - cucumbers & tomatoes, diced w/ salt & lemon juice In a bowl, mix flour, instant yeast & salt. Stir in olive oil & warm water a bit at a time. I used a hand mixer with dough hooks and added a very bit more l water because whole wheat flour absorbs more water. On a floured surface, knead for 7-10 minutes with your hands or in a stand mixer (with dough hooks) on med-low speed for 7 minutes. Once dough is smooth, form into a large ball & brush with olive oil. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth & allow to rise in a warm place (like your oven that’s off) for 1.5hrs. Combine all chicken marinade ingredients in a bowl & coat chicken pieces. Cover & allow to marinade for 1hr (overnight is best though!). Once dough has doubled, punch out the air & on floured surface, roll into a rope. Divide into equal balls - I did 4 small & 2 large, then cover with damp towel to rest for 10-15min. Preheat oven to 500F with a sheet pan inside & the rack on the bottom. Combine all garlic sauce ingredients together, whisking vigorously to mix well then set aside. In a pan with some olive oil, cook your chicken strips over med heat for 3-4min each side depending on thickness. Roll out pita balls on a floured surface, add to sheet pan & bake for 3-4 min until they puff, turning & baking for another 1-2 min - all depending on size of pitas too! Longer times for bigger pieces. Place pitas in a kitchen towel before serving, to keep steam & warmth. Once ready, allow to cool & assemble with chicken, garnishes & creamy garlic sauce! #fyp #healthyrecipes #simplehighproteinrecipes #pita #pitabreadrecipe #shawarma #shawarmarecipe #middleeast #middleeasternfood #middleeasternrecipes #chickenshawarma #FoodTok #foodgram
