Healthy & delicious Chicken Shawarma for dinner! My girls just love this Mediterranean delight any day! Usually, we get it from our local eatery but today I made it at home. This particular recipe is so easy, and filling. And it tasted pretty close to the real thing!😍

Traditionally, Chicken shawarma, as you might know is a dish made of marinated chicken, layered on a vertical rotisserie where it's slow-roasted for days to get the deep flavor. After roasting thin slices are cut, served on pita pockets with fresh greens, chopped cucumber, tomatoes and topped with tahini & hot sauce sauce.
