Ready In
- Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Whisk together the coriander, cumin, cardamom, chili powder, grill seasoning, paprika, and turmeric in a bowl; whisk in juice of 1/2 lemon, garlic, and 3 tablespoons olive oil to form a paste. Coat the chicken breasts with the spice paste.
- Grill chicken breasts on the preheated grill until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool for 1 to 2 minutes; slice thinly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onion, red pepper, and yellow pepper into the hot olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir together Greek yogurt, tahini, juice of remaining 1/2 lemon, and remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl until smooth; season with salt.
- Place pitas on the grill until heated through and lightly charred on the outside, about 1 minute per side. To assemble each sandwich, place some sliced chicken on each pita; top with some of the pepper mixture and a good dollop of yogurt tahini sauce.

Very tasty. The recipe looks daunting due to all of the spices, but it comes together quickly. It's a good substitute for the street food, but it was missing something - maybe just the atmosph...

This went over very well in our house. I was fun to make on the grill and very well liked. Also I like to show my family the world via the dinner plate.

Good as written but used twice as much of the seasoning to coat both sides of 6 halved chicken breasts chicken well. Use sauce liberally, it's delicious and the recipe makes plenty.
