Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Arabic Chicken Shawarma Wrap.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken sandwich adventure, grab a mixing bowl and combine three tablespoons of creamy Greek yogurt with a splash of chile sauce, a dash of white vinegar, a generous drizzle of barbeque sauce, a touch of dark soy sauce, and some minced garlic.
Step 2
Sprinkle in half a teaspoon of ground white pepper, a few shakes of ground black pepper, and a pinch of ground cinnamon for that extra warmth.
Step 3
Give everything a good stir until you have a flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Next, add your cubed chicken to the bowl, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated in that zesty mixture.
Step 5
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 6
While your chicken is soaking up all that goodness, let’s whip up a creamy sauce.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, mix together half a cup of Greek yogurt, a spoonful of tahini, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, some chopped garlic, half a teaspoon of white pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Stir until the mixture is smooth and velvety—this sauce will add a delightful tang to your sandwich.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to cook the chicken! Heat a skillet or wok over high heat and add a splash of cooking oil.
Step 10
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the marinated chicken.
Step 11
Cook it while stirring frequently until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take about 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 12
The aroma will be irresistible! While the chicken is sizzling away, let’s toast some pita bread.
Step 13
Place it on a flat pan or skillet over medium heat and toast until it’s golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Step 14
The warm, crispy pita will be the perfect vessel for your sandwich.
Step 15
Now comes the fun part—assembling your sandwich! Take that toasted pita and generously spread your creamy sauce on top.
Step 16
If you like, you can create a pocket in the pita and slather some sauce inside for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 17
Layer on the cooked chicken, followed by some crunchy shredded cabbage, thinly sliced onion, and tangy pickles.
Step 18
For easy handling, fold or wrap your sandwich in aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 19
And there you have it—a mouthwatering chicken sandwich that’s bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Step 20
Enjoy every bite!.
