Trader Joe's Chicken Shawarma Recipe
This chicken is packed with warm spices and has that deep, smoky sear that makes it so good.Letting the marinade work overnight makes all the difference, allowing the flavors to soak into every bite.I love piling it into a pita with garlic sauce and fresh veggies is the best way to serve it.A quick homemade yogurt sauce with lemon and garlic makes the whole thing taste even fresher.Every time I make this, I wonder why I ever bother with takeout!
