    Step 1- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the plain yoghourt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Step 2- Add the chicken thighs or breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavours to meld.

    Step 3- Once the chicken has marinated, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.

    Step 4- Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

    Step 5- While the chicken is resting, warm the pita bread or Lebanese flatbreads in the oven or on the grill for a few seconds on each side.

    Step 7- Top the vegetables with the sliced chicken, drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.

    Step 8- Roll up the pita bread tightly to form a wrap, securing it with parchment paper or aluminium foil if needed.

    Step 9- Serve the Chicken Shawarma Wraps immediately, while still warm, and enjoy the delicious flavours of this classic Middle Eastern dish.
