# Method:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
02 - Add chicken thighs or breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for enhanced flavor development.
03 - Preheat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Apply a light coating of oil to the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
04 - Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the heated cooking surface. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
05 - Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
07 - Arrange the sliced chicken in pita bread or on a serving plate, generously drizzle with garlic sauce, and top with fresh vegetables and herbs as desired.
