Great Chicken, Sauce needed some work

These were really good. The seasoning on the chicken was fantastic. I really did not enjoy the sauce as it is written in the recipe, but I was able to salvage it by adding 3 cloves of garlic and more of the plain yogurt. I also added a bit of fresh dill--it made the sauce a lot more like a true garlicy tzatziki. We also added other ingredients in the pita, like onions, green onion, tomatoes, lettuce, mushrooms, green pepper, feta cheese, cheddar cheese, etc.

Pros: Easy, Yummy

Great Flavor and Easy to Prepare

These were so easy to prepare! I made the cucumber-yogurt sauce ahead using non-fat greek yogurt. I also tried to duplicate the chicken shawarma at Pita Jungle by adding a bit of plain hummus and including chopped onion, chopped cucumber, and diced pickle. Wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!

Pros: Do Ahead Steps, Flavor, Easy

I love Shawarmas!

What sort of super griller are you using to grill only 2 min per side? Honestly!! But it was really good, not dried out after we cooked our breast for about 5-7 min each side

Spicy and Cool - the Perfect Sandwich Blend

The chicken has a little bit of a kick from the curry but the cucumber-yogurt sauce (like tzatziki sauce) cools it off nicely. I grilled the chicken indoors on my cast-iron grill pan. The chicken only took about 7 minutes to cook. I served the chicken in pitas with the sauce, spinach, and chopped tomatoes.

Pros: quick, tasty
