For the Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the excess. Grill or sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

  2. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.

Assembling the Wrap

  1. 5

    Prepare the Wrap

    Warm the pita bread or wrap slightly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

  2. 6

    Add Fillings

    Place sliced chicken, cucumber, diced tomato, red onion, and fresh parsley on each wrap. Drizzle with tahini or garlic sauce.

  3. 7

    Wrap and Serve

    Roll the wrap tightly to enclose the fillings. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side if desired.
