Description
This quick and flavorful Air Fryer Chicken Shawarma Wrap brings the bold Middle Eastern street food flavors into your kitchen with minimal effort. Juicy, spiced chicken tenders are air fried with bell peppers, onion, and garlic, then wrapped in soft naan bread and topped with your favorite fresh veggies.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken tenders, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons shawarma spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 6 pieces naan bread, for serving
- Optional Toppings: chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Slice the chicken and vegetables. In the air fryer basket (or a large bowl), combine chicken, red and green bell peppers, red onion, garlic, olive oil, shawarma spice, salt, black pepper, and Greek yogurt. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Air fry for 16–18 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Warm the naan bread if desired. Divide the chicken shawarma mixture evenly among the naan.
- Top with optional toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, and parsley. Wrap and serve warm.
Notes
- Shawarma spice blends are available in most spice aisles or can be made at home using a mix of cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic powder, and coriander.
- To meal prep, store the cooked filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat and assemble wraps fresh as needed.
- For a low-carb option, serve the filling over salad greens instead of naan.
