    There is a great little place in Chicago called Olive Mediterranean Grill that makes some really good Chicken Shawarma,, so I figured I would take a stab at it.   If you are looking to impress a crowd of folks with some huge flavor then you’ve found the right recipe.  Really simple to make and man is it good.  No sauce necessary with this chicken, but feel free to add what you would like.  Simply serve it up with some flatbread, hummus, rice, tomatoes and cucumbers.  This is a really nice twist on chicken and a great alternate if you are getting into a rut with cooking.   You will like this, so make it 🙂
