Crispy Chicken Shish Wrap: The Perfect Weeknight Dinner. A delightful meal that promises a burst of flavors with every single bite, featuring tender grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy yogurt sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large pita breads or wraps
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup yogurt sauce or tzatziki
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Unwrap your chicken breasts and place them in the bowl, coating them thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. 2. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. 3. Place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest.
4. 4. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
5. 5. Take a pita bread and lay it flat. Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber slices, and chicken strips.
6. 6. Top with yogurt sauce or tzatziki.
7. 7. Fold the pita to enclose the filling securely.
Notes
Marinating the chicken for longer (up to overnight) yields better results. You can cook the chicken in the oven, on a stovetop skillet, or in an air fryer if you don’t have a grill.
