This quick version of shawarma is made with chicken, which doesn't require long marinating or spit-roasting. Thinly slice boneless, skinless chicken thighs, toss with spices, and bake in the oven. Thighs are the most flavorful and juicy part of the chicken. They stay juicy even if cooked in small pieces. Serve on warm pita bread with herbs, tomatoes, and a tangy yogurt sauce.
