Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Cucumber
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the paprika, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine and remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine diced cucumber, cherry tomato halves, sliced kalamata olives, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the vegetable mixture. Toss well to combine and ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

To assemble the stuffed pitas: gently open each pita pocket and fill them with a generous scoop of the cooked chicken mixture, then top with the vegetable salad.

Step 8

Repeat for remaining pitas and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whole30 Mediterranean stuffed pita!
