Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pieces pita bread
1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup Greek or regular yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Marinated chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
