Ingredients

  • β€’800g chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • β€’3 tablespoons olive oil
  • β€’3 cloves garlic, minced
  • β€’2 teaspoons paprika
  • β€’1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • β€’1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • β€’2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • β€’1 teaspoon salt
  • β€’Β½ teaspoon black pepper
  • β€’8 pita breads
  • β€’200ml Greek yogurt
  • β€’2 cups fresh tomatoes and lettuce, chopped

Directions

  1. 1Mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. 2Marinate chicken slices in the mixture for 20 minutes.
  3. 3Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and cook marinated chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and cooked through.
  4. 4Warm pita breads in a dry skillet or over direct heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. 5Combine Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make sauce.
  6. 6Fill each pita with cooked chicken, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.
  7. 7Drizzle generously with yogurt sauce and serve immediately.

πŸ’‘ Thin, even chicken slices matter more than a long marinade for dΓΆner-style cooking; uneven pieces leave some dry before the thickest pieces brown.
