Ingredients:
- 2 cardamom pods
- thinly slice cucumber
- thinly sliced onion
- thinly sliced tomato
- pickle , slices (optional)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients except for chicken, fillings, and sauce ingredients to make marinade. If it seems a little dry, add a little olive oil (a tablespoon at a time).
- Add chicken, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferable overnight.
- In a stockpot or large saucepan, cook chicken over medium heat for 45 minutes or until done. Be sure not to overcook! If chicken becomes a little dry, add a few tablespoons of water throughout cooking duration.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
- Take the onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and sprinkle with sumac. Add any other filling ingredients in a large bowl and combine well.
- When the chicken is done, you can shred it, slice it, or leave into large pieces. Just make sure it is thinly cut.
- Spread each half pita with hummus.
- Place enough chicken on pita that cover 1/4 of the loaf.
- Add veggies and pour on sauce.
- Roll like a soft taco or burrito and you have shawarma!
- You can also stuff the pocket of the pita if you prefer. I prefer to roll large pitas and stuff the smaller ones.
- ****Cooking time does not include refrigerating overnight****.
