Method
Pat chicken1 breast dry, then slice into 1.5 cm strips; toss with paprika and half the salt, let marinate for 5 minutes.
Heat a 24 cm skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
Cook the chicken1 for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and no longer pink inside.
For the sauce, mix yogurt, minced garlic7, lemon8 juice, and the remaining salt until smooth.
Slice cucumber4 and tomato5; lay out lavash, then layer salad, cucumber, tomato, and chicken1, drizzle with sauce.
Roll lavash tightly, pressing edges, then cut into 2–3 pieces.
Serve immediately, with extra sauce on the side.
Tips
- Why it works
- Pat the chicken dry to prevent splattering when it hits the hot oil, which ensures even browning and avoids a greasy pan.
- Substitutions
- Use plain Greek yogurt for thicker sauce or swap cumin for paprika (½ tsp) if unavailable. Replace lavash with tortillas or flatbread.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking chicken makes it dry. Cut a strip to check: juices should run clear, not pink. Smell for a burnt aroma if oil smokes too much.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or refrigerate for 1 day; reheat chicken separately in a pan for 2 minutes, then assemble. Freezing isn’t recommended.
- Serve with
- Pair with a side of roasted bell peppers for extra crunch or serve with a simple cucumber-tomato salad for a lighter meal.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
