1

Cut chicken breast into thin strips, similar to döner meat for more surface area and better roasting flavor.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons paprika, about 0.5 teaspoon salt, about 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and about 2 teaspoons sunflower oil to create a marinade.

3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix well to ensure all the chicken is coated.

4

Let the marinated chicken sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

5

Prepare the vegetables: slice onion into half rings, cut 3-4 lettuce leaves in half and then into small strips, and slice cucumber into rounds. Cut the bell pepper into strips and then into cubes.

6

Heat a skillet over high heat and fry the marinated chicken until it is nicely browned and crispy.

7

Toast the pita bread briefly, turning it if necessary to ensure even heating.

8

Cut the pita bread halfway open, being careful not to cut all the way through.

9

Spread a layer of Joppie sauce inside the pita bread.

10

Fill the pita with lettuce, cucumber, onion, and the crispy chicken strips. Add more Joppie sauce on top before serving.
