Chicken Shawarma

This week I’m doing Chicken Shawarma-Inspired Pitas for my 6-week cut and OMG these are hitting the spot! 44g protein + 6g fiber = 💪

Super filling, easy to meal prep, and SO good. This one might be on rotation for the next few weeks!

Chicken Shawarma Marinade

• 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp allspice

• ¼ tsp turmeric

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and coat the chicken really well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes — longer if you have time!

I meal prep the chicken on Sunday, cook and slice it all up, and then I have delicious shawarma-inspired chicken ready to go all week. Great off the grill, or the air fryer!

To make one pita:

• 6 oz chicken

• 2 tbsp hummus

• 1 tbsp tzatziki sauce — I love the cucumber dill one from Aldi!

• 1 tsp feta

• 1 tsp giardiniera

• 1 Fiber & Flax whole wheat pita — only 70 calories!!!

Warm your pita, spread on the hummus, then add your chicken, tzatziki, feta and giardiniera. Serve with a bunch of cut veggies on the side.

Easy, delicious, filling AND fits perfectly into my 6-week cut.
