Chicken Shawarma/Mediterranean Chicken

Recipe modified from Chef Savvy and The Little Pine - also looked at Skinnytaste.com and adjusted spices

Ingredients:
-Chicken - used 1.75 lbs of chicken strips (for 3 days, 6 servings)
-1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
-Juice from 1 lemon + zest
-1 Tbsp balsalmic vinegar 
-4 cloves of garlic, minced
-2 tsp ground cumin (Skinnytaste 1 tsp cumin)
-2 tsp paprika (Skinnytaste 1 tsp smoked paprika)
-1 tsp turmeric (Skinnytaste 1/4 tsp turmeric + 1/4 tsp curry powder)
-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (Skinnytaste 1/8 tsp cinnamon)
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
-1 tsp dried oregano
-1/2 tsp onion powder
-Pinch red pepper flakes

Directions:
-Marinate for 3 hours or longer
-Bake in oven 375 degrees for 20 min

Notes:
Served with Mediterranean rice and broccoli.  I thought it was good.  It tasted similar to Jamaican jerk recipe probably because of the cinnamon?
-had some notes to add less paprika and cumin, but I didn't and tasted good 2nd time around
-I think key ingredient is lemon zest
