Instructions
Marinate the chicken
Combine sliced chicken thighs with all spices, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and marinate.
Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir for 6–7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Prepare the onions
In a bowl, combine thinly sliced red onion with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper and sumac. Toss well and set aside.
Make the garlic sauce
Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic and lemon juice in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the red sauce glaze
Whisk together olive oil, tomato paste, pomegranate molasses (if using) and paprika in a bowl.
Prepare fries and assemble wraps
Cook the frozen french fries. Spread garlic sauce on each pita, then top with chicken, fries, diced tomatoes and onions. Wrap tightly.
Crisp the wraps
Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Place wraps seam-side down, brush tops with red sauce glaze, cook until golden and crispy, flip and repeat on other side. Serve topped with extra garlic sauce.
