Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry, toss with paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp oil until coated.

    While chicken roasts, stir yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

    Warm pita in a dry skillet or over a flame for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.

    Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
