Preparation time: 30 minutes

Juicy, spice-marinated chicken wrapped in soft flatbread with fresh
vegetables and a creamy, slightly spicy sauce.

Marinate the Chicken:

Clean and pat dry the chicken with paper towels

In a medium bowl, add the finely diced red onion, lemon juice, garlic,
ginger, black pepper, paprika, nutmeg, turmeric (or curry powder),
thyme, bouillon (if using), scotch bonnet, oil, and salt. Mix well.

Add all the mixture to the chicken in a large bowl and mix until the
chicken is well coated.

Cover with a plastic wrap or a tight lid and leave in the fridge for
at least 20 minutes. For best results, marinate longer if time allows.

Shawarma:

Lay the Chicken pieces on a parchment-lined baking pan, transfer to a
425?F oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

For a slightly charred finish, broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
closely to avoid burning.

Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mayonnaise. Add a small
pinch of cayenne pepper if desired, then mix until smooth. Set aside.

Assemble:

Lay a pita bread flat and spread a thin layer of the sauce over it.

Add the sliced chicken, followed by the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and
cucumbers.

Drizzle a little more sauce on top, then roll the wrap tightly,
folding in the sides as you go.

Optional: Place the rolled shawarma on a hot skillet or grill pan over
medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until lightly
browned and slightly crisp. Serve warm and enjoy.
