Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp shawarma seasoning
Shawarma Sauce
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Wrap Assembly
- 4 flatbreads
- 1 cup lettuce shredded

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and shawarma seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
- In another bowl, combine yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Cooking
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken slices for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Once grilled, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to maintain its juiciness before slicing.
Assembly
- Lay a flatbread on a clean surface. Place grilled chicken slices down the center, drizzle with shawarma sauce, and top with shredded lettuce and tomato slices. Roll the wrap tightly.
- Serve the wraps immediately while warm. They pair well with a side salad or soup.
- Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
