Instructions: How to Cook Pita Jungle Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- 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.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Serve the grilled Pita Jungle Chicken with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with pita bread, hummus, and a side salad.
