Chicken Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated, spiced chicken cooked on a vertical spit and thinly sliced. Served with creamy garlic or tahini sauce, it is often paired with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or rice. The marinade includes a blend of flavorful spices like paprika, cumin, turmeric, and coriander, adding depth and warmth to the dish. Rich in protein, chicken shawarma provides essential nutrients for muscle repair and energy. The accompanying fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce contribute vitamins, minerals, and fiber. While the dish is flavorful and satisfying, certain components, such as the creamy sauces or pita bread, may be high in calories, fats, or carbohydrates, depending on preparation. Choosing whole-grain pita and using sauces sparingly can increase its health benefits, making chicken shawarma a delicious, customizable meal that fits a variety of nutrition goals.
