Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly charred.
While the chicken is cooking, warm the gluten-free flatbreads in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side.
To assemble the shawarma roll, spread 2-3 tablespoons of plain yogurt onto each gluten-free flatbread.
Top with cooked chicken strips, sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling and serve immediately.
