Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup yogurt or tzatziki sauce
- 4 pita bread rounds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your fresh veggies: chop your lettuce, dice the tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Place them in individual bowls to make assembly easier.
- Mix the shredded chicken with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. This step enhances the flavor and keeps the chicken moist.
- Warm the pita bread in a pan over low heat or pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds until they’re soft and pliable.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of yogurt or tzatziki on each pita. Layer the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion on top. Finally, pile on the seasoned chicken. Fold the pita in half and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Consider using grilled chicken for a smoky flavor or Greek yogurt for a healthier sauce.
