Easy and Best Chicken Shawarma Wrap Recipe – Learn how to make the best and quick chicken shawarma wrap recipe at home. You will never grab the restaurant chicken shawarma, if you know how easy and quick it is to make it. A popular Middle Easter / Arabic sandwich made with sliced meat and filled with veggies.
Staying in the United Arab Emirates and not sharing the Chicken Shawarma Wrap recipe will truly not do justice to my blog. If you have ever been here, you would have noticed that Shawarma shops are in abundance here. Even a local cafeteria would serve you the shawarma. The big chunks of chicken or the lamb pieces getting cooked near the grill would be treat to the eyes. (Zolpidem) The meat is created using a vertical spit that is made stacked between layers of fat, rotating all day around a grill. Don’t worry, you won’t have to do that, it works pretty fine with an oven or an outside grill. After the meat is cooked, the cook would then be cutting out the grilled meat and rolling it up in a wrap filled with veggies and the sauce is a dream come true. The Chicken Shawarma Wrap recipe is a pretty popular dish out here. You can simply grab it on the go for a filling and wholesome meal or just a quick bite.
I love to add some freshly minced garlic into the Chicken Shawarma Wrap recipe. The smell is incredible. You can really smell the garlic and feel the flavor in your tongue. You know what I mean right! Sometimes you love adding some spice or herb and get totally disappointed when you do not find the flavor in it or it is present just very subtly. But that is not the case with the garlic, it comes out in a very powerful flavor. It is so magical what a little pod of garlic can do to the dish. Most of the recipe for the Chicken Shawarma Wrap recipe would call for the garlic and I, being an avid lover of it, simply rush to add it without any delay.
You can make it with any kind of left over chicken if you have it from the previous night or simply follow the below recipe for making the chicken shawarma.
