Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the chicken marinade.

- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and cook it in the preheated pan for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Use tongs to flip the chicken pieces while cooking.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
- To assemble the foldover, warm the pita bread in the pan for a few seconds on each side until it becomes pliable.
- Lay the warmed pita bread on a flat surface and spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on each pita.
- Add a layer of lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and the cooked chicken on top of the creamy sauce.
- Fold the pita bread over the fillings to create a half-moon shape, enclosing the delicious ingredients inside.
- Serve the chicken foldover warm and enjoy!
