CHICKEN SHAWARMA RECIPE(LOW FAT)


HI GUYS.... IM STILL TRYING SO HARD TO KNOCK OF A BIT OF WEIGHT AND IT SEEMS SO TOUGH... AGE SOMETIMES CATCHES UP AND METABOLISM JUST GOES DOWN, THE IMPORTANT PART IS THAT DETERMINATION SHOULD NEVER GO DOWN.... I TRIED A REALLY NICE MIDDLE EASTERN RECIPE FOR CHICKEN SHAWARMA AND IT TURNED OUT DELICIOUS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT WE ROLLED OUR SHAWARMA IN LETTUCE LEAVES INSTEAD OF PITA BREAD OR A TORTILLA SHEET..THIS WAS JUST TO STAY OF THE CARBS AND I PROMISE YOU,IF I SHED MY WEIGHT AND MAKE THIS AGAIN, ILL NEVER USE LETTUCE LEAVES...THE KIDS AFCOURSE USED TORTILLA SHEETS...........SERVE THIS CHICKEN ALONG WITH TOMATOES ,SLICED GREEN CHILLIES,ONIONS AND CHOPPED PARSLEY AND CUCUMBER STICKS. PICKLED JALAPENOS WORKS GREAT AS WELL AS A FILLING.............HERE GOES THE RECIPE
