Shawarma is a meat sandwich eaten by people in the Middle East. It is served in round Arabic bread with meat and vegetables, with some spice or sauce of choice, in it. Normally, the meat can either be lamb, beef, turkey, or chicken. Shawarma can also be spelled chawarma, shwarma, shawerma, or shoarmais.

3. Chicken Shawarma Wrap

To make the traditional Middle Eastern shawarma sandwich, marinated pieces of meat are pressed, stacked on a vertical rotisserie and cooked slowly. The juicy cooked meat is then shaved off and made into a sandwich with yogurt, tomatoes and lettuce. I improvised by stacking my chicken vertically on a skewer and simply placing it directly on the grill. Yield is 6 servings.

6. Chicken Shawarma Salad

I recommend using chicken thighs for this chicken shawarma salad. They just taste so much better and never seem to dry out on the grill. Always juicy! Of course, you could just wrap everything up in a big pita or naan bread like my husband does, but then it wouldn’t technically be a salad. You pick, it’s all good!
