Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Vegan chicken strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita breads
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mix well and add the vegan chicken strips, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated vegan chicken strips. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and heated through.
While the vegan chicken grills, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together the tahini and water until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Warm the pita breads in a toaster or oven until soft and pliable, about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble the pitas, open each pita pocket and lay a quarter of the grilled vegan chicken strips inside.
Add a generous handful of cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion to each pita.
Drizzle with the prepared tahini sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Grilled Chicken Pita.
