Chicken Shawarma, originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, is a savory dish celebrated globally for its rich flavors and satisfying taste. It consists of marinated chicken seasoned with a blend of warm spices like paprika, cumin, turmeric, and garlic, slow-roasted or grilled to perfection. Thinly shaved slices of the tender meat are often served in pita bread or flatbread, accompanied by fresh veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, as well as creamy toppings like tahini or garlic sauce. This dish is protein-rich, thanks to the chicken, which supports muscle repair and growth. It’s often paired with vegetables, contributing fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, the calorie count can increase significantly with added fats from sauces or frying, as well as the carbohydrate content from bread. Opting for whole-grain pita and light sauces can make it a healthier choice while maintaining its delicious flavor profile.
