Yield: 4 chicken shawarma wraps

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup Greek yogurt
  2. 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  3. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  4. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  8. ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  9. 1 pound skinned, boned chicken breast, cut into thin strips
  10. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  11. ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  12. ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  13. ½ teaspoon bottled minced garlic
  14. ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
  15. ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  16. ⅛ teaspoon salt
  17. ½ head romaine lettuce, shredded
  18. 1 cucumber, diced
  19. 2 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
  20. 4 (6 inch) pita bread rounds

Instructions

  1. Combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cinnamon, oregano, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a plastic container or resealable bag. Add chicken strips and shake until ingredients are evenly combined and chicken is well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
  2. When you are ready to make the sandwiches, heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add marinated chicken, and sear until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken pieces.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl or small resealable container, stir well to blend. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  4. Once chicken is cooked and sauce is prepared, assemble sandwiches by dividing meat, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes between your pita. Add a generous smear of the yogurt sauce (to your taste preference).
  5. You can use naan or flatbread instead of pita bread.
