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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Warm the flatbreads or pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Place the cooked chicken pieces on top of the vegetables.

Step 9

Roll up the flatbreads tightly around the filling to create wraps.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm, or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
