  7. While your chicken is cooking, add all the salad ingredients to a small bowl; stir, and mix well. Set aside.
  8. Add all the ingredients for the tahini sauce in a small mixing bowl and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  9. Once your chicken is done cooking, you’re ready to assemble your Shawarma.
