Cooking Guide:

1. Prepare the chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add chicken slices and toss to coat evenly.
2. Roast the chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
3. Assemble the sandwiches: While chicken is roasting, preheat broiler. Spread hummus or tahini sauce on naan bread. Top with Havarti cheese, roasted chicken, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley.
4. Broil and serve: Broil sandwiches for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
• Add your favorite vegetables to the baking sheet for a complete sheet pan meal.
• Feel free to customize your sandwich with your preferred toppings, such as pickled vegetables or hot sauce.
