Ingredients:

Serving

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
1 lemon , juice of
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (a 'scant' 1/2 cup)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp salt , to taste
1/8 tsp dried thyme
4 pita bread , oval
4 tbsp garlic sauce (see thum -- (lebanon -- middle east) #373997)
2 small tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 gherkins , thinly sliced lengthwise
2 tbsp mint, finely chopped
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with 1/2 cup of onion, lemon juice, olive oil & spices, then add the thyme before adding the salt to taste.
Stir well & then let marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then place chicken breasts in a roasting pan & bake for 25-30 minutes or until done.
Remove from the oven & shred the chicken into slivers.
Open oval pitas at the seam to create a large pocket, then spread a tablespoon of garlic sauce on the bottom half before filling each pits with equal amounts of sandwich ingredients (i.e. chicken, tomato, onion, gherkins, mint & parsley).
Wrap the bottom of the 'sandwiches' with a napkin & serve immediately.
