Chicken Shawarma Wrap Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Prepare the Wrap

   Warm the pita bread or flatbreads briefly on the grill or stovetop. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and place it in the center of each warm bread. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with tahini or yogurt sauce.

4. 4

   Wrap and Serve

   Fold the sides of the bread over the filling and roll it up tightly. Serve immediately while warm, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
