Ingredients

2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground cayenne
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 (8-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 pita breads, warmed on the grill
Tomato Jam, recipe follows
Herbed Yogurt, recipe follows

Directions

Heat grill to medium-high. Combine all spices and the oil in a medium bowl to make a paste. Rub a thin layer of the spice paste onto 1 side of each chicken breast. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and just cooked through. Remove from the grill, let rest 5 minutes, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve openface on pitas: the chicken slices, a few dollops of Tomato Jam, and a drizzle of Herbed Yogurt.

Grilled Tomato Jam:

5 plum tomatoes
1 serrano chile
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small Spanish onion, chopped
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Pinch saffron

Heat grill to high. Brush tomatoes and serrano with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes and serrano on all sides until charred. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill or on the side burners. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, serrano, balsamic vinegar, and saffron and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.

Herbed Yogurt:

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Love the flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great flavors, the mix of the spicy chicken, tomato jam, and yogurt was amazing. As many people have said, the amount of... spice paste this recipe renders is huge: you could easily cover 6 chicken breasts with what you get. Next time I'll cut the spices by half and actually cook it on the outdoor grill. Very tasty and easy to prepare.Read more

Just didn't hit the spot
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe twice. The first time it was a miss, but I like to give a little leeway because I could have made an... error. The second time was tonight and my whole family agreed that this is not be be repeated. I can't pinpoint the exact thing we disliked about it, but something was just amiss. I did like the spice paste, there was something to savor there, but the recipe yielded way too much for the amount of chicken. Read more

Wonderful blend of flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Spicy, salty, and sweet. This one has it all! I used lots of paste on one side of my chicken because I like it spicy, but... only used a very thin strip of paste on my guest's as she doesn't like it hot. It was a hit!Read more

This was a very tasty dish! My husband used the left over yogurt sauce as a sandwich spread, and said it gave his sandwiches... a bit of edge. lol Next time, I'll cut down on the cayene a bit. There will definately be a next time =)Read more

Oh. My. Goodness.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was absolutely fabulous and so quick! I did not have access to an outdoor grill so I grilled the chicken on my stovetop... grill pan. I also roasted the tomatoes in the oven...425 degrees for 25 minutes and I added some freshly chopped garlic to them. I did not have a serrano pepper or saffron and used a red onion instead of a spanish onion for the jam. SO GOOD! Also just mixed the greek yogurt, chopped mint and cilantro by hand. I purchased naan bread at Trader Joe's and this definitely made the dish. Read more
