Ingredients

• Olive oil  

• 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into strips 

• 2 tsp fine sea salt, divided                                                                    

• 2 Tbsp Shawarma East or Shawarma West blend 

• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced 

• 1 Tbsp dried garlic slices  

• ½ cup sliced celery  

• ¼ cup lemon juice 

• ½ cup sliced scallions 

Directions

1. In a heavy bottom skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil until shimmering.  The pan should be nice and hot to get a good sear on the chicken. 

2. Add the chicken slices and leave to sear, untouched, for a few minutes and then give a stir to help the strips brown evenly. 

3. Add 2 teaspoons of salt, Shawarma blend, the onion, pepper, dried garlic, and celery to the pan and stir to combine. 

4. Add the lemon juice and reduce the heat to medium to finish cooking until the chicken and vegetables are just tender (5-8 minutes).  Be sure to scrape up any browned bits into the mixture using a silicon spatula. 

5. Fold the scallions in and serve warm.
