Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken, shawarma seasoning, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan.
Cooking
  1. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked through and slightly browned.
  2. While the chicken cooks, warm the pita bread in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assembly
  1. Spread garlic sauce generously over each warm pita bread. Fill each pita with the cooked chicken and your desired optional toppings.
  2. Fold or roll the pita bread to create your chicken shawarma wraps and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning. You can also prepare the chicken ahead of time and marinate it for up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
