Need to use leftover chicken thighs?🍋Try this!
I love Italian and Middle Eastern food, I can’t choose between the two. As you’re aware, I really love Mediterranean food too and use a lot of those delicious spices in my dishes.
I had leftover chicken shawarma thighs and needed to use them for tonight’s dinner. I decided to create this dish with a traditional alfredo sauce and chicken shawarma. It was delicious and the spices blended perfectly with the creamy pasta! Adjust your seasonings based on your preferences. I didn’t measure my seasonings for the chicken, just coat as much as you like.
