Steps

1 hour

1

To make the pita bread dough, add flour into a bowl.
2

Add salt and dry yeast to the flour. Mix well.
3

Then, add in the melted butter and egg.
4

Use 1/2 cup warm water to form the dough. Add the water gradually and knead with your hands (you might not need the entire 1/2 cup.)
5

Cover the dough and rest it for 1 hour in summer and 2 hours in winter in a warm place.
6

While the dough rises, make the filling.
7

Add all the Filling ingredients to the chicken and mix well.
8

Add 1 tbsp oil to a pan and add 1 crushed clove of garlic.
9

Fry the garlic till color changes slightly. Then, add in the marinated chicken and cook it for 30 minutes in its own water.
10

Shred the vegetables while the chicken cooks. You can slice the veggies if you prefer sliced veggies over shredded ones.
11

Shred the chicken when it is cooked.
12

Add all the sauce ingredients into a small or medium bowl and combine well.
13

When the dough has risen, make 5-7 balls and roll each ball into a pita bread with a rolling pin.
14

Cook each pita flatbread on a iron tawa or frying pan.
15

Spread the sauce onto a pita bread and then place the shredded chicken in the center.
16

Top the chicken with shredded veggies and lettuce and roll the pita bread into a shawarma.
17

Make more and serve.
