In a large bowl, place the chicken thighs and sprinkle them with cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add a quarter cup of olive oil and mix everything until the chicken is fully coated.

Once the chicken is ready, chop it into bite-sized pieces.

To assemble your chicken shawarma, take a warm pita bread and place the chopped chicken on it. Drizzle some of the tahini sauce over the chicken.
6
Add sliced pickles, thinly sliced onions, chopped Kalamata olives, and a handful of fresh baby arugula.
7
For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a bit more of the creamy tahini sauce on top.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
