Ingredients

  • ½ cup malt vinegar
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup sliced onion
  • 4 cups shredded lettuce
  • 8 pita bread rounds

Directions

Step 1
In a glass baking dish, mix together the malt vinegar, 1/4 cup yogurt, vegetable oil, mixed spice, cardamom, salt and pepper. Place the chicken thighs into the mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together the tahini, 1/4 cup yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, taste, and adjust flavors if desired. Cover and refrigerate.

Step 3
Cover the chicken and bake in the marinade for 30 minutes, turning once. Uncover, and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the dish, and cut into slices.

Step 4
Place sliced chicken, tomato, onion, and lettuce onto pita breads. Roll up, and top with the tahini sauce.
