Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Toss chicken with shawarma spice, olive oil, and salt. Let marinate 5 minutes.
  2. Sear chicken in a hot skillet 5-6 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
  3. Rest briefly, then slice into thin strips against the grain.
  4. Warm lavash, spread garlic sauce generously across the center.
  5. Layer chicken, tomato, pickled turnips, and parsley. Roll tightly and serve.

Timing

Allow roughly 6 minutes of preparation and 19 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
