Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped cucumbers
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup garlic sauce (mix of garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts well and let marinate for at least an hour (overnight is ideal).
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.
  3. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6 minutes per side until fully cooked. For oven cooking, roast until golden brown.
  4. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  5. Fill each pita with sliced chicken and top with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and drizzle with garlic sauce.
  6. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
