Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade. Toss the chicken pieces until they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread or flatbreads on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay a few lettuce leaves inside each pita. Top with grilled chicken kabobs, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce

    Drizzle yogurt sauce or tahini over the top of the filling, then fold the pita in half to enclose the ingredients.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
