Ingredients

  • 3 Chicken breasts
  • 4 Pittas

Seasoning

  • ½ Fresh chopped chilli
  • 3 tbsp Coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp Caribbean everyday seasoning (Dunn's River)
  • 1 tbsp Mixed herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Black pepper

Salad

  • 1 Lettuce
  • 2 Tomatoes
  • ½ Cucumber
  • 1 Red onion
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Drizzle of olive oil (extra virgin preferable but not optional)

Instructions

  • Combine all seasoning in a large bowl.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half and place them into the bowl with the seasoning. Marinate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Grill or cook in a grill pan over medium heat for 20 minutes until cooked through.
  • While grilling the chicken, chop all the veggies and prepare the salad. Add the olive oil and the salt.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and slice into small pieces. Do not turn off the grill.
  • Brush each side of the pittas with water and place under the hot grill for max 2 minutes per side.
  • With a knife make a cut across the long side of each pitta so it looks like a "pocket". Add chicken, salad, mayonnaise (optional) and Tabasco sauce (optional) and serve.
  • Bon Appetit!
