Bursting with flavor, these grilled lemon chicken flatbread wraps are seasoned with warm spices and a savory spicy garlic sauce!
Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps Ingredients:
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts), cubed into bite-size pieces
- Olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
- Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch or two black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 4 middle eastern-style flatbreads (you can use pita bread, as well)
- Arugula greens
- Sliced tomatoes
Spicy Garlic Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat, plain Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sriracha (I used a lot more since I like mine spicy, so use your own judgement!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper (again, you can use more, if you like it spicier)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation:
- Place the cubed chicken into a medium-size bowl, and drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil; add in the garlic, plus the remainder of the ingredients up to and including the paprika, and using your hands, toss all of the seasonings/spices very well to coat the chicken.
- Using 4 bamboo skewers (you can soak these in water first to prevent burning), skewer the chicken so that there is equal portions of meat on each skewer, and allow the chicken to marinate for about 20 minutes, or even overnight, if making ahead.
- While the chicken marinates, prep the garlic sauce by adding all the ingredients to a medium-size bowl, and whisking together until completely smooth and creamy; set aside, or keep in the fridge, covered. (I like to put mine in a plastic squeeze bottle, and keep any leftovers in the fridge to use for other sandwiches, or as a tasty condiment.)
- When ready to grill, place a grill pan over medium-high heat (you can certainly use your outdoor grill, as well), and drizzle in a little oil; once the oil gets hot, place the chicken skewers into the pan, and cook them for about 6-8 minutes, turning them occasionally so that they get a bit charred on all sides, or until cooked through; allow them to rest, lightly covered with foil, for about 5-10 minutes; then, remove the chicken cubes from the skewers and set aside.
- To assemble, add a little drizzle of the spicy garlic sauce onto the flatbread, followed by the greens; then, add a couple of slices of tomato, and about one skewer-worth of the lemon chicken; drizzle over a generous amount of the spicy garlic sauce, and fold the sides towards the middle to form a “wrap” (you can even use some parchment paper or foil to hold it all together, if you’d like).
Tips & Tidbits for my Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps:
- Allow some time for marination: Twenty minutes worth of marination is a good amount of time to allow the lemon zest/juice and spices to penetrate the chicken; but marinate for longer (even overnight) if you’d like even more flavorful lemon chicken!
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water: To help reduce the chance of the bamboo skewers burning too much, I like to soak them in some warm water for a few minutes before adding the chicken pieces.
- Grill pan, or outdoor grill: For convenience, I just use my little indoor grill pan to grill my chicken skewers; but you can certainly use your outdoor grill to impart more “smokiness”.
- Sub yogurt in the garlic sauce: The recipe for the garlic sauce calls for both mayo and sour cream, but you can sub plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for one or even both of those.
- Where to find tahini: Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds that looks like a nut butter, and is typically found in the section of the market where the nut butters are found.
- Prep ahead for easy grilled lemon chicken flatbread wraps: To expedite things, you can marinate and skewer the chicken, and prep your garlic sauce the day before you plan on grilling and serving the sandwich wraps. The day of, simply grill the chicken, and assemble the wraps!
