Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Slow Cooker Chicken Shawarma
- Prepare the spice blend by combining minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the marinade by adding olive oil, plain yogurt, vinegar, and lemon juice to the spice mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated and letting it sit in the slow cooker for a few moments.
- Slow cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
- Shred the chicken inside the slow cooker using two forks, mixing with remaining juices for flavor.
- Serve the chicken in warmed pita with fresh veggies and a drizzle of yogurt sauce for a delightful meal.

Notes
For deeper flavors, let marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Adjust cooking times if using chicken breasts to avoid dryness.
