1. In a large mixing bowl add chicken, olive oil, smoked paprika, sumac, chilli powder and garlic powder. Give it a really good mix.

3. Preheat your oven to 180°C.Seal the chicken on a pan over medium heat. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until cooked all the way through. Take out and rest whilst you prepare the rest of the wraps.
4. In a small bowl, add your yoghurt, garlic and lemon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Carve your chicken shawarma meat before adding to your wraps.
6. Place the wraps in the oven to warm through in a damp tea towel. this will only take about 5 minutes.
7. To build your wraps, add your lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, onion and garlic yoghurt.
