Chicken Shawarma Tower is a popular Middle Eastern dish that consists of layers of marinated and spiced chicken that is roasted on a spit or grilled, sliced, and served on pita bread with a variety of toppings and sauces. The chicken is typically marinated in a blend of Middle Eastern spices, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil before being cooked, giving it a flavorful and tender texture.
