Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended, then add the chicken strips, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and place it on the hot grill or pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, ensuring a lovely golden brown crust forms.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise with minced garlic, a splash of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth, adjusting the garlic based on your preference.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips, then serve on warm pita bread or a plate alongside your creamy garlic sauce and fresh vegetables.
