Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 units Pita bread
- 1 unit Tomato
- 0.5 unit Cucumber

Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or cook in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
While the chicken is cooking, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes.
Slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into smaller pieces if needed.
To serve, place a few pieces of chicken onto a warm pita, and top with tomato slices, cucumber, red onion, and lettuce.
Serve hot with your choice of additional sauces or toppings, such as tzatziki or chili sauce.
