Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Pita bread - 2 pieces
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1/2 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, thinly sliced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the garlic sauce by mixing tahini, yogurt, and water in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, and set aside.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.
5. Warm the pita bread in the skillet for about 1 minute on each side or until soft.
6. To assemble the wraps, place the cooked chicken on the warm pita bread, then top with diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley.
7. Drizzle the garlic sauce over the top, then wrap the pita around the filling tightly.
8. Serve immediately with extra garlic sauce on the side if desired.
