Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the grill to its highest setting. Thread the meat onto four skewers. Place on a baking tray and grill for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through.

To serve, spoon the mustard sauce onto the pitta breads and put the chicken on top. Scatter over the sliced onion and chopped parsley and add a good squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately, with sliced tomato and shredded cabbage if you like.
