Description

These Grilled Chicken Shawarma Wraps feature spiced, marinated chicken grilled to perfection and wrapped in flatbread with creamy hummus, crisp vegetables, and a tangy yogurt sauce. A fresh, flavorful, and satisfying take on classic Middle Eastern street food.


Ingredients

½ Tbsp ground coriander

½ Tbsp brown sugar

½ Tbsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp kosher salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp ground turmeric

2 Tbsp lemon juice

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

½ Tbsp lemon juice

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp minced garlic

¼ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp black pepper

46 flatbreads, wraps, or naan

8 oz hummus

4 cups chopped Romaine lettuce

2 cucumbers, thinly sliced

3 Roma tomatoes, sliced

½ small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup crumbled feta cheese


Instructions

  1. In a zip-top bag, combine all chicken marinade ingredients. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (~375°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together all yogurt sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. To assemble, spread hummus on flatbreads, then add lettuce, sliced chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and feta. Drizzle with yogurt sauce.
  5. Roll up the wraps and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs offer more flavor and moisture than breasts.
  • Use coconut yogurt and skip the feta for a vegan version.
  • Assemble wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Try a Mediterranean bowl version with rice or couscous instead of wraps.
  • Spice level can be adjusted by increasing or omitting cayenne pepper.
