Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 pieces Whole30 compliant pita
Instructions
1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
2. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
3. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh parsley. Set all vegetables aside.
4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred, turning occasionally.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini and water until smooth and creamy.
6. Warm the Whole30 compliant pita in a pan over medium heat for a minute on each side.
7. Assemble the sandwich by spreading a little tahini sauce on each pita. Top with grilled chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
8. Drizzle more tahini sauce over the top, fold the pita, and serve immediately.
