Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast?
Yes. Thighs stay juicier and handle high heat better. Cook 1-2 minutes longer to render the extra fat.

About this recipe.
What if I don't have döner seasoning?
Mix equal parts paprika and cumin with half as much garlic powder. Add a pinch of cayenne if you want heat.
Can I make this ahead?
Cook the chicken and prep the vegetables up to a day ahead. Store separately. Assemble just before serving so the greens stay crisp.
