Description
A flavorful Chicken Shawarma Wrap filled with juicy marinated chicken, crisp veggies, and a creamy sauce, wrapped in warm flatbread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- 3 tbsp yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2–3 flatbreads (shawarma bread or tortillas)
- Lettuce (sliced)
- Tomato (sliced)
- Cucumber (sliced)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, blend yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic paste, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt until smooth. Add the cut chicken strips, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—feel free to refrigerate overnight for an explosion of flavor.
- Cook the chicken: In a pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips, searing them until they are fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Warm the flatbreads: While the chicken cooks, take a moment to warm your flatbreads on a separate pan—this elevates their flavor and texture, ensuring they are soft and pliable.
- Assemble your wrap: Place a bed of lettuce on the warmed flatbread, followed by layers of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. On top, generous amounts of your perfectly cooked chicken await.
- Sauce it up: Add more sauce if desired for extra creaminess and tang before rolling your wrap tight, tucking in the edges as you go to create a snug parcel.
- Serve with joy: Enjoy your delicious Chicken Shawarma Wrap immediately, savoring each layer and flavor.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavors. Avoid skipping the marination step for best results.
