• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt

• 6 whole wheat wraps
• 1 fresh cucumber
• 2 fresh tomatoes
• 1 red onion
• 50 g fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Cook the marinated chicken strips in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Turn pieces occasionally for even cooking.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into thin rounds. Chop the fresh parsley.

Step 7

Once the chicken is done, warm the whole wheat wraps in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.

Step 8

Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus on each wrap.

Step 9

Place a portion of cooked chicken strips on top of the hummus layer on each wrap.

Step 10

Top with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 11

Roll the wrap tightly, securing with a toothpick if needed to hold it together.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your high protein chicken shawarma wraps!
