Watch my preparation video on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Persian cuisine, spices and herbs are the true heart of every dish \u2014 they tell stories, create memories, and awaken the senses. In this recipe, Persia meets Morocco, blending the delicate warmth of my homemade Ras el Hanout<\/a><\/strong> with the freshness of vibrant herbs.<\/p>\n My homemade Ras el Hanout spice mix wraps the chicken in layers of flavor \u2014 warm, fragrant, and slightly exotic. It\u2019s a mix that instantly transports you to a bustling spice market somewhere between Marrakech and Tehran.<\/p>\n To balance those rich aromas, I love adding plenty of fresh herbs: cooling mint, aromatic basil, bright parsley, citrusy cilantro, and a touch of spring onion. Together, they bring a burst of color, freshness, and authenticity that makes Persian recipes so irresistible. If you\u2019ve never cooked with Ras el Hanout before, this Persian chicken wrap is the perfect place to start \u2014 simple, delicious, and full of soul.<\/p>\n Tender chicken marinated in yogurt and Ras el Hanout, layered with creamy yogurt and fresh herbs, all wrapped in soft Lavash bread \u2013 it\u2019s pure Middle Eastern comfort food.<\/p>\n The secret touch? Pomegranate molasses (Rob-e Anar). Its sweet-tart flavor gives the wrap that irresistible Persian twist \u2014 fruity, tangy, and beautifully balanced.<\/p>\n I love buying my pomegranate molasses and concentrate from Persian or Turkish grocery stores, where the quality and flavor are unbeatable. I also use it just like balsamic vinegar in salad dressings for a refreshing, slightly exotic kick.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve never cooked with pomegranate molasses before, you\u2019re in for a treat \u2014 a drizzle of this ruby-red elixir turns simple dishes into something truly special.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever tried to deseed a pomegranate, you know it can look like a little crime scene in the kitchen \u2014 red juice everywhere!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s my no-mess trick to keep your kitchen spotless:<\/p>\n The seeds will fall out easily \u2014 no splashes, no stains, just those beautiful ruby-red jewels ready to enjoy. \u00a0And if you want even more clever ideas, check out my 4 Easy Ways to Remove Pomegranate Seeds<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 they\u2019ll change the way you handle this gorgeous fruit forever!<\/p>\n If you love Middle Eastern and Persian flavors as much as I do, you\u2019ll definitely want to try more of my wrap and grill recipes:<\/p>\n Sibzamini Tokhm-e Morgh \u2013 Potato & Egg Wrap (\u0633\u06cc\u0628 \u0632\u0645\u06cc\u0646\u06cc \u0648 \u062a\u062e\u0645 \u0645\u0631\u063a)<\/a><\/strong> Sumac, or Som\u0101gh as it\u2019s called in Persian, is the little red secret behind many Middle Eastern dishes. But Sumac isn\u2019t just a treat for the senses \u2014 it\u2019s also a gift for your health. This ruby-red spice is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that help boost the immune system and fight inflammation. Even more fascinating, Sumac contains omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and keep your metabolism active.<\/p>\n In traditional Persian medicine, Sumac is known to aid digestion, detoxify the body, and revitalize the mind. Just a sprinkle over grilled meats, rice, or salad brings a pop of flavor \u2014 fresh, zesty, and incredibly nourishing for both body and soul.<\/p>\n for 4 wraps<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 tbsp Ras el Hanout (homemade) <\/a><\/strong>or buy here*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 4 tbsp Olive oil<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n 4 skinless chicken breasts<\/p>\n 500 g Greek yoghurt<\/p>\n 1 Handful fresh peppermint or 2 tbsp dried peppermint<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2 tbsp sumac<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n A pinch of lemon salt<\/a>* <\/strong>and freshly ground lemon pepper<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 red onion halved and thinly sliced<\/p>\n 4 flour Lavash breads (homemade)<\/a> <\/strong>or tortilla wraps<\/p>\n 1 pomegranate<\/p>\n 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 tbsp pomegranate syrup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 handful arugula<\/p>\n some baby spinach<\/p>\n a bit of beetroot leaves<\/p>\n A pinch of lemon salt<\/a>*<\/strong> and lemon<\/strong> pepper<\/strong><\/a>*<\/p>\n In a bowl, mix Ras el Hanout with olive oil until you get a fragrant, golden paste.<\/p>\n Slice the chicken breasts into strips and coat them thoroughly in the marinade.<\/p>\n Cover and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes \u2014 ideally 2 hours.<\/p>\n The longer the chicken marinates, the deeper and richer the flavors become.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: For extra tender and aromatic chicken, let it marinate overnight.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine plain yogurt with fresh or dried mint, sumac, lemon salt, and lemon pepper.<\/p>\n Chill the dressing in the fridge while you prepare the rest \u2014 this allows the flavors to blend beautifully.<\/p>\n Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken along with any leftover marinade.<\/p>\n Fry for 5\u20136 minutes, depending on the thickness of your strips, until golden on the outside and juicy on the inside.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, slice the red onion into thin rings.<\/p>\n Halve the pomegranate and use the classic \u201ctapping trick\u201d to remove the seeds:<\/p>\n Hold one half cut-side down over a bowl and tap the back firmly with a wooden spoon \u2014 the ruby seeds will fall right out, no mess!<\/p>\n Wash and dry your arugula, baby spinach, and beetroot leaves, and set aside.<\/p>\n Warm your Lavash bread or flour tortillas briefly in a pan or oven until soft and pliable.<\/p>\n Spread a layer of mint-yogurt dressing over the surface.<\/p>\n Add a handful of greens, top with chicken strips, red onions, and pomegranate seeds.<\/p>\n Drizzle with a little pomegranate molasses or pomegranate concentrate, and season with lemon salt and lemon pepper to taste.<\/p>\n Roll the wrap tightly and slice in half if desired.<\/p>\n These Persian-style chicken wraps taste delicious both warm or cold \u2014 perfect for lunch on the go, picnics, or easy meal prep.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip for entertaining<\/strong>: Set up a DIY Wrap Bar!
