Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Combine marinade ingredients; coat chicken. Marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Grill Chicken: Grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through (75°C / 165°F). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Make Yogurt Sauce: Combine yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, mint, parsley, and salt. Chill until ready to use.
- Warm Flatbreads: Warm flatbreads for 30 seconds per side.
- Assemble Wraps: Layer vegetables, chicken, and yogurt on flatbread. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and mint.
- Roll and Serve: Fold and roll wraps tightly. Cut in half and garnish.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas. Warming the flatbreads makes them more pliable. Straining the yogurt creates a thicker sauce.
