About Shwarma chicken

Shwarma chicken is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish known for its rich spices and tender texture. Thin slices of marinated chicken are typically roasted on a vertical spit, then served in wraps, bowls, or plates alongside fresh vegetables, tahini, or garlic sauce. The marinade often includes a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, turmeric, and coriander, paired with lemon juice and olive oil for added zest and moisture. While shwarma chicken is high in protein and offers the health benefits of spices like turmeric, its nutritional profile depends on preparation methods. Grilling or roasting ensures a leaner option, whereas frying or adding creamy sauces can increase calorie and fat content. Combined with whole-grain wraps or salads loaded with fresh veggies, shwarma chicken can become a balanced and savory meal with a distinct cultural heritage.
