About Arabian chicken shawarma

Arabian Chicken Shawarma is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish known for its marinated, thinly sliced chicken cooked on a rotating spit. The chicken is seasoned with aromatic spices such as garlic, cumin, paprika, and turmeric, creating a rich and savory profile. Typically served in a warm pita or flatbread, it is accompanied by fresh vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers and garnished with tangy sauces, such as tahini or garlic-based mayo. Originating from Arabic cuisine, Shawarma is globally popular for its bold flavors and adaptability. On a nutritional level, the dish provides a good source of lean protein from the chicken and vitamins from the vegetables. However, its healthiness depends on portion sizes, use of oils, and the amount of creamy sauces, which can add extra calories and fats. Opting for whole-grain wraps and lighter sauces can make this indulgent treat more balanced for a healthy diet.
