Shawarma Djaj -- Chicken Shawarma (Lebanon -- Middle East)


1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with 1/2 cup of onion, lemon juice, olive oil & spices, then add the thyme before adding the salt to taste.

2. Stir well & then let marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then place chicken breasts in a roasting pan & bake for 25-30 minutes or until done.

4. Remove from the oven & shred the chicken into slivers.

5. Open oval pitas at the seam to create a large pocket, then spread a tablespoon of garlic sauce on the bottom half before filling each pits with equal amounts of sandwich ingredients (i.e. chicken, tomato, onion, gherkins, mint & parsley).

6. Wrap the bottom of the 'sandwiches' with a napkin & serve immediately.
