    Sear the chicken in a single layer 12–15 minutes per side, until it is nicely seared and cooked through.

    💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
  5. 5
    Warm the lafas on the grill pan for 30 seconds per side.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Spread out the lafas, lay the chicken and the red onion and tomatoes on it and serve with tahini, hot sauce and parsley leaves.
