Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice into strips.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, bell pepper, parsley, and mint. Tear pita bread into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Top the prepared salad with the grilled shish tawook chicken strips. Serve immediately.
