Steps

1
Place the chicken, paprika, salt, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, and Toom in a large bowl. Stir with a spoon to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4
Place two pitas on each baking sheet, spread a light coating of Toom on each, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
5
Bake until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
6
Add the cooked chicken shawarma on top of the melted mozzarella cheese.
7
Top with the tomatoes, red onions, banana peppers, parsley, and more Toom, if desired.
8
Cut each pita pizza into fourths and enjoy immediately.

Creator's notes

Toom garlic dip replaces the fresh garlic, lemon juice, and oil in the marinade — it adds a ton of flavor and keeps the chicken tender and juicy. Sponsored mention: TOOM Original Garlic Dip is available at Costco.
