last school year this love became stronger due to the chicken kabob wrap with everything from east side pockets in providence. this is my take on one of my favorite sandwiches.
the idea came from having pre-marinated chicken kabobs in the freezer. i added a few sliced boneless chicken breasts to bulk up the batch and added my own marinade.
awww raw chicken, so tasty
the sandwich is only as good as the bread you use, and in this case the proper bread is pita. you could go by pita if you like, it's good. but i decided to make my own.

this is the final dough, pre cooking.
ain't that some good lookin bread; so fresh, so clean.
i'm not going to claim that i know what all the condiments east side pockets uses. i decided to try and mimic it to the best of my abilities with what i have available to me. lettuce and tomato are a given, easy. i know there's hummus on it and i know there is a hot sauce on it. those are the sauces i had the stuff to make; i think there may be a lemon sauce and some tabouli but i don't have what i need to make those.
another thing i don't are chick peas, so i chose to use red kidney beans because those are the beans i had. luckily we had enough lemon, garlic, and tahini around to make hummus.
i make really good hummus, i try to be as traditional as possible with it; oddly flavored hummus like chipotle is offensive.
for the hot sauce i went the sriracha mayo route again. this time i did mayo, srirach, sour cream, franks red hot, and ketchup. the flavor is very similar to what i wanted, the color was just a bit off.
i then griddle the chicken kabob meat, and began to construct my sandwich.
that the pita with hummus and hot sauce
on top of the sauce are tomato slices and shredded lettuce
i just ate and i'm starting to get hungry looking at this
then you wrap it up like a big ole spliff and mao down, knowati'msayin'
that bread looks amazing
