Easy chicken shawarma in a pita from Eating Out Loud: Bold Middle Eastern Flavors for All Day, Every Day (page 138) by Eden Grinshpan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Green zhug; Quick-pickled red onions; Chopped salad

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    My go to recipe for chicken shawarma, my favorite way to eat this is bowl style though over pearl couscous or rice for a cava style meal prep for lunch, customized for both my partner and my own preferences. I mix up a quad batch of the seasoning blend so I always have some on hand.

    We make this often and double the recipe every time to have leftovers. It does take some time to make the accompaniments, though! We usually make the green zhug, quick pickled onions, and chopped salad — but we buy the amba, labneh, feta, and pitas.

    Yes, the chicken is easy. But, to do it right, you need to make like 5 other recipes. But the chicken itself is simple and delicious. Don’t use her pita recipe. It’s bland compared to the one from Jerusalem and it comes out bready.

    The best and easiest chicken shawarma. Better than most restaurants!
