Recipe for Spicy Chicken Wraps with Greek Yogurt Dressing

Ingredients:

6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Marinade Ingredients:

2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. allspice
¼ tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1½ tsp. smoked paprika
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Greek Yogurt Dressing:

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, grated
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried dill weed
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and black pepper

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine garlic, spices, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and whisk to combine.

2. Place chicken thighs in a large, sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade mixture into the bag. Seal the bag and gently turn to thoroughly coat the chicken.

Place in the refrigerator from several hours to overnight.

3. To prepare the yogurt dressing, combine all ingredients in a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl and stir to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard remaining marinade. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and brown on each side, approximately 2 minutes per side.

Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.

5. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool for several minutes.

6. Slice chicken and arrange on lettuce leaves and top with tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with Greek yogurt dressing and serve immediately.
