Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 leaves lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
• 1 medium cucumber, julienned
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• 0.25 cup whole30-compliant mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons whole30-compliant hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 5

Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and drying them thoroughly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the compliant mayonnaise with the hot sauce to create a spicy sauce.

Step 7

To assemble the rolls, lay a lettuce leaf flat and place a few slices of chicken in the center. Add julienned cucumber, tomato slices, and red onion.

Step 8

Drizzle some spicy sauce over the fillings and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Step 9

Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling like a wrap or taco.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shawarma rolls.
