- ·60g hummus
- ·80g cucumber
- ·80g cherry tomatoes

- ·6g garlic

Method
- 1Slice the chicken thin across the grain and toss with the oil, spices, crushed garlic and half the lemon.
- 2Ten minutes sitting is enough — this is not a marinade you need to plan a day ahead.
- 3Hottest pan you have, single layer, do not move it for 3 minutes. You want dark edges, not grey chicken.
- 4Chop the cucumber and tomatoes with the rest of the lemon and a pinch of salt.
- 5Warm the pittas, split, hummus inside, chicken, then salad on top so it does not go soggy underneath.
