Ingredients

  • 1 kg boneless chicken thighs, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Combine all spices, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl to form a marinade.
  2. 2Cut chicken thighs into 2-cm strips, add to marinade, toss thoroughly, cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  3. 3Preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan over high heat until smoking; work in batches to avoid steaming.
  4. 4Sear chicken strips 3–4 minutes per side until charred edges form and internal temperature reaches 75 °C.
  5. 5Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board, rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  6. 6Warm flatbreads on the same pan 30 seconds per side; spread with garlic sauce or tahini if desired.
  7. 7Fill each bread with sliced chicken, pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce; roll tightly.
  8. 8Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges and chili sauce on the side.
