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.

Chicken Shawarma Alfredo Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs

1/2 bag Egg fettuccine

Whole Milk

Grated parmesan (use an insane amount)

Fresh parsley chopped

1 lemon (juice + zest)

Whole Foods Organic shawarma seasoning no salt added

Organic Ground fenugreek Spicely Organic Spices (WFs)

Dried tarragon

Dried mint

Sea salt + cracked peppercorns

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Instructions

•Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs. Season with chicken shawarma seasoning, dried mint, fenugreek, and tarragon. Heavily season and coat all over. Add lemon juice & zest all over thighs. Place in oven for 20 minutes.

•In a Dutch oven, add EVOO, fry the onions, garlic, sea salt, and cracked pepper. Once finished, move to the side.

•Boil fettuccine pasta as package instructed. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is finished cooking. Once pasta is ready, begin to assemble your pasta in a pasta bowl. I hope you love it!

Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳✨

If you love Mediterranean cuisine, this Chicken Shawarma Alfredo Pasta brings together the best of Italian and Middle Eastern flavors. The combination of savory shawarma-seasoned chicken thighs with a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce makes for a truly delightful dish. To make this delicious pasta, start by preheating your oven and seasoning the chicken thighs with shawarma seasoning and lemon for an added zing. Baking the chicken helps retain its moisture and flavor. As you prepare your pasta, consider adding sautéed onions and garlic to enhance the aroma and taste of your dish. Using high-quality ingredients like fresh parsley, grated parmesan, and organic seasonings can elevate your meal significantly. Whole Foods offers a great selection of organic spices that can make your cooking experience even more enjoyable. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility; you can adjust the spices and toppings according to your preferences. For those who want a burst of freshness, adding a squeeze of lemon juice or extra parsley right before serving can enhance the flavors even more. Not only is this dish quick to prepare, but it also provides a perfect way to use leftover chicken creatively. Enjoy your cooking!
