CHICKEN SCHWARMA

Fun name for a fantastic recipe.

We love to shiskabob chicken breast tenders, seasoned with salt, pepper and cumin, or use a whole cooked chicken sliced.

Schwarma Sauce

2 Tblsp. Lebanese Breeze Original Whipped Garlic
1/2 Fresh lemon squeezed
1 Cup plain yogurt
1 Cup Tahini (sesame paste usually found in Mideastern sections of stores)
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
2 - 3 Tblsp. of Honey or to taste

Stir Tahini around to blend with the separated sesame oil, add to blender.  Add garlic, yogurt, lemon and honey and mix well with your blender, gradually add olive oil.  Serve chicken wrapped in warm pita or flat bread, top with Schwarma Sauce.  Serve with warm cooked rice, dabbed with butter for a side dish, sprinkled with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon for authentic Middle Eastern flavor!  Also, check our our side salads to go along with this.  I love the Salada -t- Malfoof (Lebanese cabbage salad) served with this particular dish.
