Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a chicken wrap is my favorite thing to do; they’re so easy to make and so filling that they fit perfectly in an everyday diet with just a few variations. For a few years, I stuck with a classic chicken Caesar wrap<\/a>, but I love trying new food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my recipe testing, I created a chicken shawarma, but it was too heavy for my diet. With this crispy chicken wrap version, you have the authentic taste of the classic recipe, but with a lighter filling that’s ready in just a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Shawarma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shawarma is a traditional, very popular Middle Eastern street food. The meat is marinated in spices, stacked on a rotating vertical spit, and roasted slowly. The tender meat is then shaved off and stuffed into warm flatbreads or pitas along with garlic sauce and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shawarma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I absolutely love savory spices, but even if they’re the best, I needed something lighter and much faster for my everyday diet. I decided to capture that exact street food taste and bring it into a simple, crispy chicken wrap. The chicken is pan-fried, and using a quick homemade glaze on the bread, you get all those shawarma flavors in a simple chicken wrap that is ready in minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
