Happy Friday, friends!
I have another yummy chicken-based recipe to share with you today. If you love chicken tacos and chicken wraps, then you will for sure love today’s chicken shawarma recipe!
Chicken shawarma is a new dish for me. I actually didn’t try it until I moved to Michigan. The first time I tried it was at a farmer’s market. Travis had bought a chicken shawarma at a food truck (another great love of mine) and he let me try it. I absolutely loved it and ever since then, I have been hooked on chicken shawarmas!
Chicken shawarma is not complicated to make at all. It’s super easy and very delicious. Having the right spices to season your chicken is also key to this recipe. We used Kashat Spices‘ Chicken Shawarma recipe and their chicken shawarma spice to season the chicken. It turned out really good! I think you will like this recipe, too.
You can purchase Kashat Spices Chicken Shawarma spice here if you’d like to order it.
