Authentic Chicken Shawarma Pita Wraps

Ingredients

• Pita bread (4 pieces)
• Fresh parsley (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
• Tomato (1 large, diced)
• Cucumber (1 medium, sliced)
• Greek yogurt (1 cup)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Paprika (1 teaspoon)
• Ground coriander (1 teaspoon)
• Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
• Olive oil (1/4 cup)
• Chicken breasts (2 large)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper to concoct the marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and immerse them in the marinade, ensuring they're evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight if time allows for maximum flavor infusion.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over a medium-high flame. Grill the marinated chicken strips for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, until they're thoroughly cooked and have a slight char. Once done, set it aside to rest.
4. Prepare the yogurt sauce by blending the Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust to your taste preference.
5. Toast the pita bread on a grill or toaster until slightly warm and flexible.
6. To construct the wraps, spread a generous amount of the yogurt sauce on each pita bread. Layer it with the grilled chicken, cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
7. Fold the pita bread in half and serve your authentic chicken shawarma pita wraps immediately. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
