Read MoreThis shawarma chicken and veggies is a sheet pan wonder! The spiced chicken, warm roasted veggies combined with the fresh cool veggies is so delicious. Just look at the ingredient list and see all the amazing spices the chicken marinates in. The longer you let the chicken marinade, the better and more flavourful the end result is.
