  • Preheat your oven to 425° F. Carefully cut your chicken thighs into small, bite-size pieces. For more authenticity, slice the pieces thinner. However, feel free to cut them to your thickness preference!
  • Now, chop your onions into slivers. Add your chicken and onions to a large mixing bowl, and drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice all over.
  • Once the chicken is covered in the liquids, generously spread the NuSpice Chicken Shawarma seasoning mixture so that is evenly coats all of the chicken.
  • Next, place your seasoned chicken thighs on a large sheet pan. Bake at 425° F for about 30 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is finished, it is time to assemble your pita! Load up yourpita with your favorite greens, tomatoes, and of course, your chicken.
  • To complete your pita to be a true Middle Eastern dish, add some type ofwhite yogurt-based sauce such as a Greek Tzatziki to bring that bit offreshness to the dish. Your final step is to sit down and enjoy!

Notes

*For my pita, I used Toufayan's Smart Carb Pockets, to keep my carbs down while still being able to enjoy a stuffed pita!
