Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken strips and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken strips for about 7-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the pitta breads according to the package instructions, either in the oven or on a dry pan, to soften them.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the cherry tomatoes in half, dicing the cucumber, thinly slicing the red onion, and chopping the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Crumble the feta cheese and set aside.

Step 7

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice over the cooked chicken for a zesty flavor.

Step 8

To assemble the pitta pockets, open each pitta bread gently and spread a layer of hummus inside.

Step 9

Stuff each pitta with a mix of cooked chicken strips, sliced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
