Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flatbreads or wraps
  • 12 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pickled red onions
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1/3 cup garlic sauce or tahini

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine chicken with yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Add oil to the hot skillet and cook chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes per side.
  4. Warm flatbreads and spread garlic sauce down the center.
  5. Layer with chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and pickled onions.
  6. Roll the wrap tightly and sear in a hot pan for 1–2 minutes per side.
  7. Slice and serve warm with extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Use parchment to wrap for easier eating and less mess.
  • Warm wraps before filling to prevent tearing.
  • Customize with extra toppings like feta, olives, or hot sauce.
