Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to create the marinade. Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into strips, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken strips for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred at the edges. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: For the yogurt sauce, mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley until smooth and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Warm 4 flatbreads or large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
  5. Step 5: Assemble each wrap by spreading 2 tbsp of the yogurt sauce onto the flatbread, then layering 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, 2 tbsp thinly sliced red onion, 2 tbsp cucumber slices, and grilled chicken strips. Fold and serve immediately.
