Description
A flavorful and zesty Palestinian Sumac Chicken served on warm flatbread, perfect for wraps.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons sumac
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 large flatbreads (pita or lavash)
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tahini paste
- Lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Mix together the sumac, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
- Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has a golden-brown crust.
- Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- Warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet for a couple of minutes on each side, or wrap in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and tahini paste, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the wraps, lay down slices of grilled chicken on each flatbread, top with chopped tomatoes, diced cucumbers, and fresh parsley. Drizzle with the yogurt-tahini mixture and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Adjust the amount of sumac to taste for more or less tanginess.
- Flatbreads can be warmed in the oven or on a skillet.
