Chicken Shawarma Recipe
Aromatic spices, tender chicken, and a zesty garlic yoghurt. Experience mouthwatering shawarma at home with this easy recipe.
Cooking tip:
If you don’t have a vertical skewer pan, you can grease a large, deep baking dish and place the marinated chicken in a single layer in the pan. Reduce cooking time to approximately 50 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
Ingredients
1 tbs smoked paprika
1 tbs ground cardamom
1 tbs ground cumin
1 tbs ground coriander
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tbs salt flakes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1.80kg chicken thighs
700g Lebanese bread rounds
1 iceberg lettuce, shredded
3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1/3 cup hot chilli sauce
1/4 bunch parsley, leaves picked
Lemon & garlic yoghurt:
3/4 cup Greek-style natural yoghurt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease a vertical skewer stand pan, approximately 25cm diameter (see tip). Remove oven trays from oven.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine paprika, cardamom, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt, oil and garlic. Add chicken and stir to thoroughly coat.
Step 3
Skewer chicken onto stand. Place in bottom of oven and bake for 1 hr and 15 minutes, basting chicken with pan juices every 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for lemon and garlic yoghurt in a medium bowl. Place chicken, yoghurt, lettuce, tomato and onion on bread. Top with chilli sauce and parsley. Serve.

5 Foods to Eat After Cardio Training
Refuelling your body with the correct nutrients after cardio sessions from Anytime Fitness - Chester Square Shopping Centre is important for muscular repair, energy replenishment, and building strength for improved performance in your future workouts. There are three essential macronutrients that should be considered when choosing your post-workout meal or snack: protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
The timing of your post-cardio meal is also important. By including these three nutrients in your meal within 30 minutes of the end of your session, you will be ticking three main goals of post-cardio nutrition:
Decreasing muscle protein breakdown
Increasing muscle protein synthesis (growth)
Replenishing glycogen stores
Recovery nutrition should:
Be rich in quality carbohydrates to replenish muscle fuel stores.
During high-intensity cardio, glycogen is used as your body’s main fuel source.
For adequate restoration, aim for 0.75 to 1 gram per kilogram of your body weight, immediately following your session
Do you ever find yourself rushing off to work after your session? Or consuming your first post-session meal, several hours after your session? Delaying your carbohydrate intake longer than 2 hours post-exercise has been shown to delay glycogen synthesis by 45%.
Aim for high GI foods post-training, to rapidly replenish energy stores such as pasta, rice, oats, bread, wraps, and fruit.
Contain some lean protein to promote muscle repair.
Ensure your post-session meal contains 20 grams of quality, lean protein.
Continue with a protein source in your meals or snacks, 5 to 6 times throughout the day for positive protein balance post-training.
High protein food sources include lean beef, chicken breast, turkey breast, tinned tuna, salmon, greek yoghurt, mixed beans and tofu. Protein powder can also be a quick and easy option to include with smoothies, oats, or milk.
Include a source of fluid and electrolytes to rehydrate effectively.
Dairy foods such as milk and yoghurt can be a great option to cover all three recovery goals, including carbohydrate, protein and fluids. Other rehydration options may include electrolyte tablets in your water bottle, or a fruit smoothie.
Top 5 meal suggestions include:
Banana & oat protein shake
Chicken or tuna salad wrap
Protein oats with seeds
Muesli with Greek yoghurt and berries
Eggs on wholegrain toast with avocado
Top 5 quick snack suggestions include:
Chocolate milk
Handful of dried fruit & nut mix
Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit
High protein cottage cheese & boiled egg with rice cakes
Fruit smoothie with Greek yoghurt & honey
Remember sustainable, enjoyable nutrition habits are key to reaching your health goals. Nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand – one without the other is incomplete. It can also be tempting to follow a fad diet or social media trend, but often these diets are restrictive and unsustainable.
For individualised nutrition recommendations, seek advice from a registered dietitian.

What You Need To Know: SPF Basics
SPF Basics
SPF (aka Sun Protection Factor) is a crucial defense against UV damage, signs of aging, and skin cancer. The numbers on SPF products indicate the level of protection you'll get - an SPF 15 will protect your skin from burning 15 times longer than if you wore no sunscreen. With tips straight from our pros, we'll guide you through your options so you can choose the SPF that's right for your skin.
SPF Prevents Dark Spots
The sun causes freckles, discolouration and hyperpigmentation. Applying a broad spectrum SPF (15 or higher) like the Garnier to your skin daily prevents the appearance of these sun spots. Before applying your SPF, another recommended ingredient to include in your routine for sun protection is Garnier Vitamin C, available at Chester Square Pharmacy - this antioxidant helps protect skin cells from external aggressors such as air pollution and sun damage typically experienced during the day.
SPF Can Expire
Depending on the expiration date and how you store it, SPF can degrade over time. Keep your products out of direct sunlight and make sure to replace SPFs that are past their sell by date. Also be aware of if the consistency and smell has started to change.
