Chicken Shawarma Pita

 Monday night I made chicken shawarma from The Mediterranean Dish.  It was so good.  I recently discovered this website because I love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.  I started making the yummy dishes while we lived in Germany, but it's been years, like a lot of years, since I've made chicken shawarma.  Man have I miss it and enjoyed every bite Monday night.


The recipe was really easy and I already had all of the spices.  I don't love cooking with turmeric, because it stains my wood spoon, but the flavor it gives is necessary.  I now just keep one wooden spoon for turmeric and curry foods.  Just remember to let the chicken marinate for a few hours.  I'm so bad at remembering to pull meat out before I need it.  You too?  

I made a cucumber and tomato salad and tzatziki sauce to top it with because I'm not a fan of arugula yet.  For the ziki sauce, I used dried herbs and just did the conversion.  I've always used fresh but I didn't feel like buying them this time.  The sauce was still fantastic.

It was such a quick meal to put together, it's perfect for a busy weeknight.  If you try it, let me know what you think.
