Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shawarma Chicken Wraps.
Step 1
To create a deliciously marinated chicken wrap, start by grabbing a plastic container or a resealable bag.
Step 2
In it, mix together creamy Greek yogurt, minced garlic, zesty lemon juice, a pinch of ground cinnamon, fragrant dried oregano, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of ground nutmeg and cloves.
Step 3
Once your marinade is ready, add the chicken strips and give it a good shake until every piece is beautifully coated.
Step 4
For the best flavor, let this marinate in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or even overnight if you can wait! When you’re ready to cook, heat a splash of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken strips.
Step 6
Sear them for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown and cooked through—your kitchen will smell amazing! While the chicken is sizzling away, whip up a refreshing yogurt sauce by combining more Greek yogurt with lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 7
Mix it all together until it’s smooth and adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
Step 8
Now it’s time to assemble your wraps! Take some warm pita bread and divide the cooked chicken among them.
Step 9
Top with crisp lettuce, cool cucumber, and juicy tomatoes.
Step 10
Don’t forget to drizzle on a generous amount of that tangy yogurt sauce—feel free to add as much as you like! Enjoy your flavorful chicken wraps, perfect for a quick lunch or a delightful dinner!.
