- Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Combine in a large serving bowl, the tomatoes, cucumber ribbons, red onion, flat leave parsley and salad leaves. Keep aside until ready covered.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade on to a resting tray.
- Heat a barbecue or griddle pan to medium. Brush with oil then add the chicken on and cook for 3 – 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (cooking time depends on the size of chicken).
- Remove the chicken from the grill onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- When serving, warm the pita bread then fill with some salad, top with the chicken pieces.
