Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 6 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Pita bread
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 2 small Cucumbers
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 4 pieces Red radishes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Flat-leaf parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Sumac

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with this marinade and set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the salad.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 3

Prepare the pita: Brush the pita breads lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides. Grill or toast until golden and crispy, then break into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

Wash and chop vegetables: Roughly chop the romaine lettuce, dice the cucumbers and tomatoes, thinly slice the radishes and red onion, and finely chop the parsley and mint leaves.

Step 5

Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, red onion, parsley, and mint. Add the crispy pita pieces.

Step 6

Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to distribute evenly.

Step 8

Add sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal.
