Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs skinless
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Wrap
  • 4 large pita bread or flatbreads
  • 1 cup cucumber sliced
  • 1 cup tomato diced
  • 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1/2 cup tahini sauce or garlic sauce

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Assemble the Wrap
  1. Lay the pita bread or flatbreads on a clean surface. Spread a layer of tahini sauce on each.
  2. Add the sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and lettuce on top of the sauce.
  3. Wrap the bread around the filling tightly and slice in half if desired. Serve immediately.
