Chef Way To fill this sandwich wrap, Ana Sortun coats chicken thighs with a lengthy list of spices that includes allspice and nutmeg, then braises them in beer and garlic.

Easy Way Rub chicken thighs with the spice mix and roast them in the oven (no beer necessary).

Pairing Suggestion

Spicy, cherry-rich Garnacha: 2007 Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos.

Chicken Shawarma with Green Beans and Zucchini

Like most FW staff favorites, this one hits it out of the ballpark. Easy, tasty, healthy (I used Trader Joes Non-fat Greek Yogurt), how much better does it get. Mike's still licking his chops. Kudos to the team.

This was great, but I did make some modifications based on my kid's tastes and what I had on hand. First I used only 1 Tbs. oil to toss w/ veggies and it was plenty. Then I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts which I cubed into large chunks and marinated them in the spices for about an hour (I skipped the black pepper and used only 1/8 tsp. of white pepper because of my kids and went light on the allspice -- only used about 1 tsp.). I chunked up an onion and put it on skewers with the chicken. I skipped the oil in the yogurt and just did garlic, yogurt, lemon and about 1/2 tsp. of cumin. I hate to be a reviewer who made lots of changes but so few people review on this website (versus epicurious) I feel like ANY review is a helpful one.

My husband and I liked this.. my biggest complaint.. the pitas fell apart. i used regular size sahara brand.. wouldn't use again. could probably stand to use bigger than 6 inch. Also, i think you can get away with using a bit less oil for the vegetables. very tasty. and easy
