Method
- Combine all ingredients, from paprika down, in a small dish and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts pretty thin about 1/2 inch thick. Generously rub the spice mixture on all sides of chicken breasts, cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Combine all tabbouleh ingredients and adjust salt and oil to your preference. Cover and chill while the chicken is marinating but first you should do like I did and dip a handful of pita chips in it.
- When the chicken has marinated, prepare grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken until done at least 16
- I like mine very done, even with some crispy edges.
- Half the pita bread, and split open. Fill the halves with chicken, tabbouleh and finally the yogurt sauce.
