Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 pieces Pita breads
• 1 piece Tomato, sliced
• 1 piece Cucumber, sliced
• 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 tablespoons Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice for tahini sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt for tahini sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more water if necessary.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the grilled chicken into strips.

Step 6

Warm the pita breads on a grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, open each pita bread and layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and grilled chicken strips.

Step 8

Drizzle the assembled sandwich with tahini sauce before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy their own customizable Dairy-Free Kebab Sandwich.
