Marinated Chicken

Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

    In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and mix to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the chicken

    Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Slice the chicken

    Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips for wrapping.

Garlic Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix garlic sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Wrap Assembly

  1. 6

    Warm the bread

    Lightly toast or warm the pita breads or flatbreads on a skillet or in the oven until pliable and warm.

  2. 7

    Assemble the wraps

    Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce onto each flatbread. Layer sliced chicken, pickles, and any additional desired toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, or onions.

  3. 8

    Wrap and serve

    Fold the sides of the bread and roll tightly into a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.
