Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped
Bread Base:
- 4 pita breads
Toppings and Seasonings:
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Brush each pita with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bake for 5-6 minutes until the edges turn light golden and crisp.
- Distribute 12 cup chopped chicken evenly across the four pitas. Return to the 425F oven for 4-5 minutes to warm the meat thoroughly.
- Remove the pitas from the oven. Spread 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce across each pita’s surface in a smooth layer.
- Scatter 2 tablespoons halved cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoons cucumber slices, and 1 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion over the tzatziki.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese across each pizza. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Chop 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill. Garnish the pizzas with the herbs for a bright, fresh finish.
- Cut each pita into quarters and serve immediately while the crust remains crisp and warm.
Notes
- Check chicken is fully cooked and heated through before adding toppings to prevent any food safety issues.
- Toast pitas carefully to avoid burning, watching closely during the first bake to get a crisp base without scorching.
- For a gluten-free version, replace pitas with cauliflower crusts or large gluten-free tortillas.
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken to make this recipe even faster and easier on busy nights.
