Begin by preparing the chicken. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion, and set them aside. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm the whole wheat pitas by briefly heating them on the grill pan or in the oven.
To assemble the pita wraps, spread 1 tablespoon of tahini on each pita.
Layer the sliced chicken, lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion on the pita.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor.
Fold or roll the pita to enclose the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and healthy soy-free chicken pita wrap!
