Experience the authentic taste of the Middle East with this delicious Chicken Shawarma Wrap Recipe, featuring marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and a smooth tahini sauce.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flatbreads or pita for wrapping
  • Fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers)
  • Tahini sauce (for drizzling)
  • Pickled vegetables (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken thighs and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat your grill or pan. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest and slice into thin strips.
  3. Assemble the wrap by placing chicken and fresh vegetables on flatbread. Drizzle with tahini sauce and add pickled vegetables if desired.
  4. Roll the wrap tightly, cut in half, and serve with extra tahini sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For greater flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Fresh vegetables and sauces should be stored separately to maintain freshness.
