Homemade Chicken Shawarma
Home cooking is not only inexpensive but it sure guarantees safe handling of food. Home cooking is also a way to be creative in preparing healthier choices as compared to food prepared elsewhere.
If only most of our meals are prepared at home then I know we are eating better than the alternative.
Being creative in the kitchen enables one to experiment with different tastes, textures, flavors and adaptation to what is readily available in the kitchen.
Here is one alternative food preparation we did recently, introducing our homemade chicken shawarma:
Thinly sliced chicken strips (from chicken breast fillet) with oyster sauce, a bit of light soy sauce, and a little muscovado sugar, were cooked in olive oil.
I seasoned with salt and pepper.
For the vegetables, I sliced green bell peppers and cucumber (I removed the seeds). Lettuce is still very expensive so I skipped that.
For the dressing I used light mayonnaise.
I then topped these with grated cheese and voila, a homemade chicken shawarma for us.
The wrap consisted of store bought wheat soft tortilla wrap.
Yes, it was ‘sawrap”!
