  • Spread the marinated chicken with the onions in one layer on a large lightly-oiled baking sheet pan. Roast for 30 minutes in the 425 degrees F heated-oven. For a more browned, crispier chicken, move the pan to the top rack and broil very briefly (watch carefully). Remove from the oven.
  • While the chicken is roasting, prepare the pita pockets.To serve, open pita pockets up. Spread a little tahini sauce or Tzatziki sauce, add chicken shoarma, arugula, salad and pickles or olives, if you like. Serve immediately!
