Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and charred at the edges.
Warm the whole-grain pita breads on the grill or in a dry skillet.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus onto each pita.
Distribute the grilled chicken evenly among the pitas.
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and cucumber.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Fold or roll the pitas around the filling to form sandwiches. Secure with toothpicks if necessary, and serve immediately.
