Quick And Easy Shawarma

Over the last 7 months I’ve been on a weight loss journey.  As every journey is there are ups and downs.  I’ve lost about 37lb and I’m working on more.  With my sister getting engaged last week and a wedding to look forward to I have all the more incentive to drop more and get even healthier however  as time goes by there are certain foods that I love and really miss.

Like a good Shawarma Sandwich. There is a fast food place here that makes an incredible one and its a huge challenge for me not to pick up the phone and order. While at face value a basic sandwich may not seem so bad there are so many factors that make it unhealthy. Firstly the portion size is much larger then I need and second there tends to be a high level of sodium in fast food items.

Today, really hungry, I ran into the grocery to grab some items to make lunch.  I passed the bakery section and caught sight of the Lafas and instantly I was craving a Shawarma sandwich. I remembered I had at home some fabulous Shawarma spice, so I grabbed the Lafas and some chicken and came home to create.

And what came out was UTTER perfection, beyond what I could have imagined!! This recipe is for sure being added to my repertoire of easy dinners!
