Steps

1

Place the sliced chicken in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, yogurt, vinegar, and all the spices. Mix well to coat the chicken, then cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

After marinating, heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring, until all the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is browned.
3

Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook until the onions are soft.
4

Add the bell pepper and tomato slices. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. The shawarma is now ready to serve.

Serve with garlic sauce (toum) and stuff inside Syrian flatbread (pita or flatbread).
