Instructions

1
Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips. In a bowl, mix them with olive oil and all the shawarma spices. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2
Prepare the vegetables: halve the tomatoes, dice the cucumbers, and slice the red onion into thin rings. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
3
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing: mix Greek yogurt, finely chopped garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Stir in the chopped herbs.
4
In a pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken for 8–10 minutes, until fully cooked through and golden brown on the edges.
5
In a large bowl or two deep plates, arrange the leafy salad, then top with the prepared vegetables, chickpeas and cooked chicken.
6
Generously drizzle everything with the yogurt dressing and serve immediately.
