Instructions

1
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
2
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and coat them well with the marinade. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat and cook the marinated chicken, stirring often, until nicely browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
4
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
5
Warm the pita breads in a dry pan or in the oven, then fill each pita with chicken strips, tomato slices, cucumber, red onion, and a generous spoonful of white yogurt sauce.
6
Roll the bread into a tight sandwich and enjoy immediately. Serve with fries or a fresh salad if desired.
