Ingredients

  • 500 g boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly golden.
  • Wash and slice the vegetables. Warm the flatbread or pita bread before assembling.
  • Spread garlic sauce on the bread, add vegetables and cooked chicken, then roll tightly and serve.

Notes

Marinating the chicken longer gives better flavor and juicier texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan while cooking for proper browning.
