About Lebanese chicken shawarma

Lebanese Chicken Shawarma is a beloved street food rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine. This dish features thinly sliced chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, and warm spices like cumin and paprika. Traditionally, the marinated chicken is stacked on a vertical rotisserie, slowly roasted, and shaved into tender, juicy pieces. It's commonly served in a pita or flatbread wrap, accompanied by fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, along with tangy garlic sauce or tahini. From a nutrition standpoint, chicken shawarma offers a lean source of protein and beneficial spices with antioxidant properties. The fresh vegetables add fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, depending on portion size and preparation, it can be calorie-dense, especially when loaded with sauces or served with fried sides. Opting for whole grain wraps and lighter sauce options can make it a more health-conscious choice while retaining its rich, savory appeal.
