Ingredients

• 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 60 ml olive oil
• 30 ml lemon juice
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 piece large onion, sliced
• 4 pieces whole wheat or gluten-free flatbreads
• 2 pieces tomatoes, sliced
• 1 piece cucumber, sliced

• 120 ml dairy-free yogurt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 5

Warm the flatbreads on a separate pan or in the oven for a few minutes to make them more pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the shawarma rolls, spread a tablespoon of dairy-free yogurt on each flatbread.

Step 7

Place a portion of the chicken on each flatbread, followed by slices of tomato, cucumber, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 8

Roll the flatbread tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately to enjoy the delicious flavors of the Dairy-Free Chicken Shawarma Roll.
