Step 1: Marinate the chicken.

Cut the boneless chicken into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add the crushed garlic, yoghurt, BBQ sauce, tikka or tandoori masala, salt, black pepper, red chilli crushed, paprika powder, vinegar and soy sauce. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2: Cook the chicken.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat and fry the chicken strips until golden and cooked, stirring occasionally. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. You can also grill the chicken if you prefer.

Step 3: Prepare the salad.

Grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess water. Chop the cabbage, onion and bell peppers into small pieces. Mix them in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Make the shawarma sauce.

You will need mayonnaise, yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Watch a video on how to make the special shawarma sauces:
