Ingredients
  • 300g chicken thigh
  • 2 flatbreads
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. 1

    Combine cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, and a good grind of pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs and mix to coat thoroughly. Leave to marinate at least 5 min (or overnight in the fridge).

  2. 2

    Heat a large heavy pan or griddle over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken thighs 6–7 min per side until deeply golden, caramelised at the edges, and cooked through. Press down lightly with a spatula for better colour.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and rest 2–3 min, then slice into strips against the grain.

  4. 4

    Dice the tomato and cucumber into small cubes and combine in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of garlic powder and a squeeze of lemon. Warm the flatbreads in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side.

  6. 6

    Spread the garlic yogurt over each flatbread. Layer on the chicken slices and top with the tomato-cucumber mix. Roll or fold and serve immediately.
