Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek recommended)
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp coriander
- 8 thin crepes (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes)
- ½ cup smooth tahini
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and coriander in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side).
- If making crepes from scratch, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth. Cook each side in a nonstick skillet until lightly golden.
- To prepare the sauce, combine tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and water in a bowl; whisk until smooth.
- Assemble by laying out each crepe flat on a plate. Place slices of cooked chicken and fresh veggies in the center; drizzle with sauce before folding or rolling up.
