Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons shawarma spice mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
For the Wrap
  • 4 large pita breads or wraps
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 piece tomato, diced
  • 1 piece cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup garlic sauce

Method
 

Marinating the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts with the shawarma spice mix, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10-15 minutes, ideally a couple of hours for enhanced flavors.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safety.
Preparing the Wrap
  1. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pita bread or wraps by laying them flat on a clean surface.
Assembling the Wrap
  1. Start by adding a generous amount of the cooked chicken to the center of each wrap. Top it with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers. Drizzle ample garlic sauce over the mixture.
Wrapping It Up
  1. Fold the sides of the pita and then roll it from the bottom up, ensuring everything stays inside.
Serving
  1. Your Chicken Shawarma Wrap is ready to be served. Enjoy it warm for the best experience!

Notes

For substitutions, use cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and smoked paprika as alternatives to the spice mix. Marinating the chicken longer will deepen the flavor. Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken for a nice sear.
