Chicken Shawarma with Garlic Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Slice the 500g boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

   While the chicken marinates, prepare the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

5. 5

   Warm the 4 whole wheat pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave.

6. 6

   Slice 1 medium tomato and prepare 1 cup shredded lettuce.

7. 7

   To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of garlic sauce on each pita. Top with cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices.
