Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or cook in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 7

Slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into smaller pieces if needed.

Step 9

To serve, place a few pieces of chicken onto a warm pita, and top with tomato slices, cucumber, red onion, and lettuce.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of additional sauces or toppings, such as tzatziki or chili sauce.
