Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions: How to Cook Pita Jungle Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is well coated in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  6. Serve the grilled Pita Jungle Chicken with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with pita bread, hummus, and a side salad.
