Chicken Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish made by marinating thin slices of chicken in a blend of aromatic spices like garlic, turmeric, cumin, and paprika, then roasting them on a vertical rotisserie until tender and flavorful. Often served in a pita or flatbread, it is paired with fresh toppings such as tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, and tangy yogurt-based sauces like tahini or tzatziki. This dish is praised for being high in protein, thanks to the lean chicken, and can offer vitamins and minerals from the accompanying vegetables and spices. However, the sodium content may be high depending on the seasoning, and serving it with creamy sauces or fried sides can increase calorie and fat levels. When enjoyed with balanced portions and healthier accompaniments, Chicken Shawarma can provide both satisfying flavor and nutritional value.
