Oven Roasted Chicken Shawarma

March 31, 2019 By Angie Trusty

Oven Roasted Chicken Shawarma

Making authentic shawarma is a lengthy process which involves cooking marinated layers of meat on a vertical rotisserie spit over a grill for several hours.  It’s very similar to a gyro but different spices are used.

After tasting the deeply marinated chicken in this recipe, your family or guests will find it hard to believe this dish comes together in just a few minutes. To make clean-up simple, everything is mixed together in a zip-lock baggie.

I serve this like an open faced sandwich. On a warm piece of naan bread, top with a generous smear of tzatziki, arugula and the chicken shawarma.  It’s also delicious served on top of rice or in pita bread and with a side Greek salad.  Click the link for my recipe for tzatziki and Greek salad.
