Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Shawarma seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the chicken breast thinly and evenly for quick cooking. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, shawarma seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if time permits.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. This recipe is highly versatile; feel free to adjust seasonings to your preference or add a touch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
