Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 medium, diced cucumber
• 8 quartered cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 medium, thinly sliced red onion
• 0.25 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup, sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Slowly add boiling water, then olive oil, stirring until dough comes together.

Step 2

Knead the dough a few times until smooth. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a ball.

Step 3

Roll out each ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to form a circle about 6 inches across.

Step 4

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each pita one at a time for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 5

Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and oregano. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.

Step 6

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a layer of tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with sliced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, black olives, and fresh parsley.

Step 8

Fold the pita to form a sandwich and serve immediately.
