INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE MARINADE
FOR THE SAUCE
Make the marinade:
In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, the lemon juice, the garlic paste, the
thyme, and pepper to taste.
Arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer in
a large shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, and let the chicken
marinate, covered and chilled, turning it once, for at least 3 hours or,
preferably overnight
Make the sauce:
In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, the garlic paste, the lemon juice, the
parsley, the mint, and salt and pepper to taste.
On an oiled grill set about 6 inches over glowing coals or in an oiled
ridged grill pan set over moderately high eat grill the chicken (discard
the marinade) turning it, for 12 to 15 minutes on each side, or until it is
cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, in a skillet cook the onion
in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until it is softened and lightly
golden. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the tomato and the sesame
seeds, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to
a cutting board and cut it diagonally into thin slices. Cut off a small
piece of each pita loaf to form an opening and heat the pita loaves on the
grill, turning them once, for several seconds, or until they are just
softened. Divide the chicken, the onion mixture, and the sauce among the
pita loaves.
Serves 6.
