baked yogurt-marinated chicken & spinach (shawarma style)
A simplified, home-style take on chicken shawarma flavors prepared as a baked casserole. Diced chicken is marinated in a spiced yogurt blend, then baked with spinach, red onions, and whole garlic cloves. Served over a bed of vegetable rice, this dish offers a creamy, comforting texture rather than the traditional dry-roasted finish.
