2) Add the spice mixture along with the lemon juice in a large bowl, add the chicken to the marinade and make sure it’s well coated in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight
3) Grill the chicken on an outdoor grill (or indoor grill pan if it’s easier) until fully cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, then allow it to rest for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
4) In a bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the yogurt sauce, then serve it with the chicken in warm pita breads with some chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and some lettuce.
