## Ingredients

- 600 g Chicken breast — cut into strips
- 200 ml Buttermilk
- 4 clove Garlic — finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Cardamom
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Cumin

## Steps

1. Mix the marinade well in a bowl and coat the chicken strips in it.
2. Cover the bowl and leave the meat to marinate in the fridge overnight.
3. Place the chicken with the marinade into a greased ovenproof dish and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes at 175°C (fan).
4. Remove the chicken from the oven, drain off any excess liquid and shred the tender meat with two forks.
5. Mix the crème fraîche with coriander and sriracha into a smooth dip, then serve the tortillas, chicken and all the toppings in separate bowls so everyone can build their own shawarma at the table.
