Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Flatbreads or pita
• 4 tablespoons Vegan yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Add chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and charred in spots. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Step 5

Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 7

To assemble the doners, lay a piece of flatbread on a plate. Place a few slices of lettuce in the center, then top with sliced grilled chicken, red onion, tomato, and cucumber.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegan yogurt over the top, and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.

Step 9

Fold the flatbread over the fillings, wrap in parchment paper or foil if desired, and serve warm.
