| 1. Combine all ingredients except for chicken, fillings, and sauce ingredients to make marinade. If it seems a little dry, add a little olive oil (a tablespoon at a time). | 2. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferable overnight. | 3. In a stockpot or large saucepan, cook chicken over medium heat for 45 minutes or until done. Be sure not to overcook! If chicken becomes a little dry, add a few tablespoons of water throughout cooking duration. | 4. While chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside. | 5. Take the onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and sprinkle with sumac. Add any other filling ingredients in a large bowl and combine well. | 6. When the chicken is done, you can shred it, slice it, or leave into large pieces. Just make sure it is thinly cut. | 7. Spread each half pita with hummus. | 8. Place enough chicken on pita that cover 1/4 of the loaf. | 9. Add veggies and pour on sauce. | 10. Roll like a soft taco or burrito and you have shawarma! | 11. You can also stuff the pocket of the pita if you prefer. I prefer to roll large pitas and stuff the smaller ones. | 12. ****Cooking time does not include refrigerating overnight****. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
