Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with chopped fresh mint and a pinch of salt to create the sauce.
Warm the pita breads in a dry pan or microwave.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of mint yogurt sauce onto each pita.
Place grilled chicken strips onto the pita followed by salad greens, sliced cucumber, red onion, and grated carrot.
Fold or wrap the pita and serve immediately.
