A delicious and easy-to-make chicken shawarma recipe perfect for wraps or mezze platters.
Cut the chicken into thin strips.
Cutting the chicken into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and tomato paste.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.
Add the minced garlic and all the spices to the marinade.
Taste the marinade to adjust seasoning before adding the chicken.
Place the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Serve the chicken hot with pita bread, fresh vegetables, and your choice of sauces.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
