Sheet Pan Chicken Shawarma

This recipe is from The Defined Dish. It is packed with flavors and veggies. It’s a go-to for us during Whole30 because it’s so easy. Especially if you prep your veggies ahead of time. Just two sheet pans! Such a dream for cleanup. I also think this would be great with rice and tzatziki sauce if you’re not doing whole 30!
