Equipment

  • Skewers (for chicken)
  • Air fryer or grill
  • Frying pan (for flatbreads and halloumi)
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken:
  • 300 g chicken thigh fillets
  • 20 g fat-free yogurt
  • 1 tbsp shawarma seasoning e.g., Maggi UK
  • 1 tbsp shawarma paste
  • For the Flatbreads:
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 40-60 g 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For the Halloumi:
  • 100 g halloumi sliced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Optional Additions:
  • Tzatziki or garlic sauce
  • Chopped lettuce cucumber, and tomato
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Marinate the Chicken. Mix the chicken thighs with the fat-free yogurt, shawarma seasoning, and shawarma paste. Thread the chicken onto skewers and cook in an air fryer or on a grill until golden and cooked through (around 15 minutes).
  • Step 2: Prepare the Flatbreads. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and garlic granules. Gradually add the Greek yogurt until the mixture forms a dough. Knead until smooth, then divide into two equal portions. Roll each portion out into a thin flatbread. Fry in a pan for 2 minutes on each side or bake in the oven, flipping halfway through.
  • Step 3: Cook the Halloumi. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Drizzle with honey just before removing from the pan.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Bowl. Layer your bowl with flatbread pieces, the cooked chicken, fried halloumi, and your choice of veggies like lettuce, cucumber, and tomato. Add a dollop of tzatziki or garlic sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Check for an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Knead the Dough Well: Ensure your flatbread dough is smooth to make it easier to roll out and cook evenly.
  • Watch the Halloumi: Frying halloumi too long can make it rubbery, so stick to 2 minutes per side.
