How to cook deliciously - Grilled Chicken Shawarma Wraps with Raita

1. Stage

At least 2 hours ahead, or up to 8 hours ahead, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir ingredients well and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate. Stir chicken pieces and marinade about every 2 hours.

2. Stage

About 30 minutes prior to grilling, make the raita by mixing yogurt, cucumber, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the wraps.

3. Stage

Preheat an outdoor gas grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

4. Stage

Place chicken pieces in a single layer onto the oiled grate, and grill until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and both sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the distance of the grates to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

5. Stage

Place grilled chicken on a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices.

6. Stage

To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients evenly: Place chicken slices in the center of each naan bread. Top with shredded lettuce, onion rings, and tomato slices; spoon raita on top.

7. Stage

Wrap each naan around the sandwich ingredients, and serve.
