Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken into thin strips along the grain. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, tomato paste, spices, garlic, onion and olive oil. Add the chicken, coat well and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (thermostat 7). Place the marinated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, slightly overlapping to mimic spit-roasting.

3. 3

   Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, then switch to grill (broil) mode for the last 5 minutes to get crispy edges. The meat should be well cooked and slightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling: wash and cut the lettuce and tomatoes into thin strips, peel and cut the red onion into julienne, and chop the parsley.

5. 5

   Warm the pita bread or flatbreads according to the package directions.

6. 6

   Fill each bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, parsley, white yogurt sauce and generous portions of chicken. Roll or fold the bread to form a sandwich. Serve immediately with fries or grilled vegetables.
