Instructions

Slice the chicken thighs into finger sized strips and toss in a bowl with the garlic, baharat and a little seasoning. Put this to one side while you do the rest of the preparation.
Finely chop a small handful of the mint leaves and combine with the yoghurt, the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Check for seasoning.
Now get your herbs and leaves ready (the rest of the mint, spinach, cucumber slices, coriander) so that you are ready to go as soon as the chicken is cooked - a line of bowls holding the prepped herbs and salad veggies works well.
Heat the olive oil in a wok or a large frying pan and stir fry the chicken until it is cooked through and golden brown. While this is cooking warm the flatbreads if you need to.
The cooking is all done now and we move to construction ... Stuff the breads with the cooked chicken and the tangle of leaves and drizzle with a little dressing. Now grab a napkin and dig in.

Notes

Baharat is widely available but if you struggle you can always mix your own or replace it with garam masala. Equal parts of paprika, cumin and cinnamon is also a good substitute.
