For the Sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the chicken. Cut it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with your favorite spices to enhance the flavor. You can include salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a classic taste.
Next, grill or sauté the chicken in a little olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure it is golden brown and juices run clear.
Step 2
While the chicken is cooking, wash and slice the Napa cabbage into thin shreds. Place it in a bowl. Chop the tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
These fresh vegetables will add vibrant colors and crunch to your shawarma, making it not only tasty but also nutritious.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and soy sauce to create a delicious sauce. Stir well until it’s smooth and creamy.
This sauce will add richness and depth to your shawarma. Adjust the flavors according to your preference by adding more soy sauce if desired.
Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, it’s time to assemble your shawarma. Lay out a tortilla or wrap of your choice. Add a generous portion of the cooked chicken in the center.
Top the chicken with the fresh vegetable mixture and drizzle your homemade sauce over everything. Don't hold back; the more, the merrier!
Step 5
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Cut it in half for easier handling.
Your healthy chicken shawarma is now ready to be enjoyed. Pair it with a light salad or a side of your favorite dip for a complete meal!

Variations
Faq
- What type of chicken should I use for Shawarma?
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are recommended for their juicy texture, but breast can work if that’s what you prefer!
- How do I know when the chicken is done cooking?
Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) or cook until the juices run clear with no pink remaining.
- Can I prepare the Shawarma sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare the sauce a day in advance and refrigerate it for improved flavor. Just give it a good stir before using!
- What are some good sides to serve with Shawarma?
Roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh tabbouleh are fantastic sides, enhancing both flavor and nutrition.
- Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes! If you have any leftovers, wrap the Shawarma tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Just make sure to reheat thoroughly before serving!
- How can I customize the fillings in my Shawarma?
Feel free to play with the fillings! Add avocado, sautéed peppers, or even roasted chickpeas for extra nutrition and flavor!
