Description

A flavorful and juicy chicken shawarma wrap filled with marinated chicken, crisp vegetables, and creamy garlic sauce, all wrapped in a warm flatbread—perfect for a hearty dinner or lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flatbreads or pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup garlic sauce or tahini sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to make the marinade for your chicken shawarma wrap.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, toss to coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor of your chicken shawarma wrap.
  3. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let rest, then slice thinly for your chicken shawarma wrap.
  4. Warm the flatbreads or pita in a dry pan or wrapped in foil in the oven.
  5. Assemble the chicken shawarma wraps by layering sliced chicken, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and garlic sauce onto each flatbread. Roll up tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra juicy results, use chicken thighs—they stay moist even with high-heat cooking.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing, to lock in those flavorful juices.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight for even deeper flavor penetration.
  • Slice the cooked chicken as thinly as possible for truly street-food-style wraps.
  • Char your flatbreads over a flame for delicious smoky flavor.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free wraps or lettuce cups.
