Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the sliced chicken and use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly coat the chicken in the spice mixture.

Step 4

Add lemon juice to the chicken and mix again to ensure even coating.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 6

When ready to cook, heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

While the pan is heating, peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Step 8

Add the marinated chicken strips to the hot pan, spreading them out so they cook evenly.

Step 9

Cook the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 10

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the sliced red onion to the pan and cook until it softens and becomes translucent.

Step 11

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.

Step 12

Serve the dairy-free shoarma with warm pita bread, or enjoy it atop a salad for a lighter option.
