A savory twist on traditional shawarma, Chicken Crepes Shawarma features marinated chicken wrapped in crispy crepes, topped with creamy Shawarma sauce. A perfect dish for Iftar during Ramadan.

Ingredients

Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless, skinless)

Shawarma seasoning

Olive oil

Garlic, minced

Lemon juice

Greek yogurt

Tahini

Crepes (homemade or store-bought)

Fresh vegetables (lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes)

Shawarma sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with shawarma seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.
  3. Make the Shawarma Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Lay a crepe, add vegetables, followed by the sliced chicken, and top with Shawarma sauce.
  5. Wrap and Serve: Fold the crepe around the filling and serve warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with grilled vegetables or falafel.
  • For a Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce or chili flakes to the Shawarma sauce.
  • Cheese Lover: Add shredded cheese like mozzarella or cheddar for extra flavor.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free crepes or tortillas.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a pan or oven to maintain crispness.
