Step 1
In a bowl, toss the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with 2 tbsp shawarma spice and 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prep the veggies.
Step 2
Slice the 2 tomatoes and 1 cucumber into thin rounds. Cut the lemon into wedges. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then cook the chicken in a single layer until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. The chicken should feel firm and reach 165°F.
Step 4
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 5
Warm the 4 flatbreads in the dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 6
Spread 2 tbsp of yogurt down the center of each flatbread. Top with chicken, tomato, and cucumber. Squeeze a lemon wedge over each, then roll tightly and serve.
Step 7
Wrap in paper towel if eating on the go, or serve immediately.
