𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsps salt
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
2 cloves garlic, minced
2.50 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or chicken thighs

1. Stir the oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, and turmeric together in a large bowl to form a paste.
2. Add the chicken and toss to coat; let marinate at room temperature while the oven heats, at least 20 minutes, or cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F.
3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or oiled aluminum foil. Place the chicken on the baking sheet in single layer. Roast until browned and cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
4. Let cool 5 minutes and thinly slice the chicken crosswise.
To serve, divide the chicken among whole grain pita bread or flat bread. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber, and a drizzle of tzatziki or hummus.
