Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs Patted dry
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil Divided use
  • 2 tbsp Shawarma spice blend Cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 4 large Flatbreads or Pita Warmed
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce Shredded
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes Diced
  • 0.5 medium Red onion Thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup Creamy white sauce Store-bought or homemade yogurt-garlic sauce
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Finely chopped
  • 2 cups French fries Cooked, for serving
  • 1 whole Lemon Cut into wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and the shawarma spice blend. Add the chicken thighs and toss well to coat completely. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165 F) and slightly charred.
  • Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken thinly across the grain.
  • Warm the flatbreads briefly on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.
  • Assemble the wraps by spreading a layer of creamy white sauce down the center of each flatbread. Top evenly with the sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and fresh parsley.
  • Roll the flatbread tightly around the fillings. Serve immediately alongside crispy french fries and a lemon wedge.
