The dish consists of marinated chicken breast fillets that are cooked to perfection on a griddle, giving them a charred and smoky flavor. The chicken is then sliced into thin strips and served on warm pita bread with onions, tomatoes, and sauce. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. It's also a great dish to serve at parties and gatherings.
