Method

Preparation

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Wrap

While the chicken is resting, prepare your flatbreads and fresh vegetables. You can use lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and any other favorite vegetables.

Assemble the Wrap

Slice the cooked chicken and place it on the flatbread. Top with fresh vegetables and any additional sauces (like tahini or garlic sauce). Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling.
