Description

A fusion-style sandwich featuring spiced sheet pan chicken shawarma layered with creamy Havarti cheese, fresh veggies, and a zesty sauce, all served on warm sandwich rolls.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500g boneless chicken thighs, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 sandwich rolls or hoagie buns
  • 8 slices Havarti cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber slices
  • 1/2 cup garlic or tahini sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and onion, toss to coat.
  3. Spread chicken mixture on the sheet pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is fully cooked and slightly crispy.
  4. Toast sandwich rolls in the oven for 2-3 minutes if desired.
  5. Assemble sandwiches: layer lettuce, tomato, cucumber, roasted chicken and onions, Havarti cheese, and sauce in each roll.
  6. Serve warm, optionally wrapped for easy grab-and-go meals.

Notes

  • Substitute Havarti with mozzarella or provolone if needed.
  • Add pickles or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Chicken can be marinated ahead for deeper flavor.
