Description
Crispy chicken shawarma wraps filled with spiced marinated chicken, creamy garlic sauce, tangy pickles, and fries, all toasted until golden and crunchy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 large saj or lavash wraps
- 1 1/2 cups garlic sauce
- 1 cup dill pickle spears, sliced
- 2 cups cooked French fries
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt.
- Add the chicken thighs and toss until fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and browned.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
- Lay out each wrap and spread with garlic sauce.
- Divide the chicken, sliced pickles, and cooked French fries evenly among the wraps.
- Roll each wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately with extra garlic sauce if desired.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken longer will deepen the flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Warm the wraps slightly before filling so they roll more easily.
- Store leftover chicken separately and assemble fresh wraps for the best texture.
