Before I got married, I had this for lunch every single day (Mom made it for me!)
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon oil
1/2-1 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients, cover and let marinate for an hour.
2. Cook over medium heat in a large saucepan until done (should be dry).
3. (I don't like onions and garlic all that much, so i pick the chicken out).
4. If you can get arabian pita bread from an international store, do so, it is a million times better than pita.
5. Heat bread, spread with a little mayo.
6. Put chicken along one side and wrap.
7. Variations: try adding french fries, or pickles.
8. Instead of plain mayo, mix some mayo with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.
