Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
- Lettuce, shredded
- Tomatoes, diced
- Cucumber, sliced
- Tahini sauce or garlic yogurt sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended, then add the chicken thighs. Toss until well coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, and milk until smooth. Let the batter sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and browned. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
- Make the Crepes: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Brush with oil or melted butter, pour a ladleful of crepe batter, and cook until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Assemble Your Crepes: Take a crepe, layer sliced chicken and toppings, and drizzle with sauce.
- Roll It Up: Fold in the sides and roll up tightly, securing with a toothpick if desired.
