  • 3 pickled cucumbers
  • 1/2 onion

Instructions
 

  • Fry in a pan the chicken breast cut into small pieces, with a little olive oil and seasoning to taste. I used salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.

  • Wrap the shawarma carefully so that the filling doesn't spill out. Do the same with the rest of the ingredients. I got 3 shawarmas from this quantity of ingredients.
    Wrap the shawarma carefully
  • Heat a nonstick grill pan. The pan should be dry; no oil is needed. Cook the shawarma for a few minutes on one side and a few minutes on the other side, over low heat.

Notes

  1. Cut the chicken breast into small, even pieces so it cooks quickly and stays juicy without drying out.
  2. If you have time, season the chicken and let it sit for 15–30 minutes before cooking – the spices will absorb better and the flavor will be stronger.
  3. Do not add too much sauce inside the lavash; a thin layer is enough to keep the wrap moist without making it soggy or hard to grill.​​
  4. Always heat the grill pan before adding the wraps and keep the heat low to medium – this way the lavash becomes crispy outside while the filling warms gently.​​
  5. If you want to lower the calories even more, use low fat Greek yogurt and skip the oil in the pan, keeping only the tablespoon used to cook the chicken.​
