Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Cook the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Wrap

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the red onion thinly and chop the lettuce leaves. Set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and garlic sauce until well combined.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Wrap

    Take a piece of pita bread or flatbread and spread a layer of the garlic mayonnaise sauce. Add a few pieces of sliced chicken, followed by lettuce, sliced red onion, and Arabic pickles. Roll the wrap tightly and repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the chicken shawarma wraps immediately with extra garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
