Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Ground cardamom
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 200 g Plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Flatbreads or pita breads
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cardamom, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
While the chicken marinates, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly browned.
Warm the flatbreads or pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave.
To assemble the wraps, spread a generous amount of the yogurt sauce onto each flatbread. Layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Place the cooked chicken pieces on top of the vegetables.
Roll up the flatbreads tightly around the filling to create wraps.
Serve immediately while warm, or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
