- 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
- 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).
- 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.

- Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Fill each pita with sliced chicken and top with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and drizzle with garlic sauce.
- Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
