Crockpot Chicken Shawarma
Shawarma is a traditional Lebanese dish that originated in the Ottoman Empire, consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit. It is best served with saffron rice, tzatziki, and tomatoes. You can plate it or serve it in pita bread as a gyro.
One of my favorite things to order is the chicken or beef shawarma and I wondered if I could figure out how to make this at home. Well, not only did I figure it out, but I used my crockpot. I love my crockpot.
