Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Seasoning and Marinade
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons shawarma spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Serving
- 6 pieces naan bread
- Optional toppings: tomatoes, lettuce, parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to get it ready for cooking.
- Prepare Chicken and Veggies: Slice the chicken tenders and vegetables (red and green bell peppers, and red onion) evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or directly in the air fryer basket, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, olive oil, shawarma spice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Air Fry the Mixture: Place the combined mixture into the air fryer basket and air fry at 380°F for 16-18 minutes. Shake the basket or stir halfway through for even cooking. Cook until the veggies are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the naan bread briefly if desired. Divide the chicken shawarma mixture evenly among the naan pieces, add Greek yogurt, and top with optional fresh tomatoes, lettuce, or parsley to taste.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any remaining chicken shawarma filling to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days to enjoy later.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of shawarma spice to taste for extra heat or mildness.
- Using chicken tenders ensures quick cooking and tenderness.
- Warm the naan bread before assembling wraps for better texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer or microwave for convenience.
- Feel free to add other toppings like cucumber slices or pickled vegetables for authentic flavor.
