Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Shawarma Flatbread 🍲

Ingredients

  • 400g skinless and boneless chicken thigh fillet
  • 50g yoghurt, such as greek, natural, soya
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juice

To serve

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 80g yoghurt, such as greek, natural, soya
  • ½ cucumber, grated
  • 3 small flatbreads or tortilla wraps
  • hot sauce, to serve

Method

Place the chicken, yoghurt, garlic and spices in a bowl and mix well so the chicken is well coated. Pop in the fridge to marinate for a few hours.

Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into the slow cooker and add the chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 then, when the chicken is tender, shred with two forks.

Serve the chicken with the salad and flatbread adding a drizzle of hot sauce if you like.

Tips

You don’t have to marinate the chicken if you don’t have time but it does add some extra flavour to the dish.

All slow cookers vary from each other and so might your cook times – always make sure any meat is hot throughout.
