0:10 Prep - 0:20 Cook - 1 Servings

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 Whole wheat Pita Breads

  • 200g Grilled Chicken thighs

  • Courgette

  • Pumpkin/ squash

  • Tomato

  • Light Cheddar/ mozzarella cheese

  • Tzatziki

​

Method:

1 Chop chicken thighs into small cubes & leave to the side. Slice courgette, pumpkin & tomato into thin slices & coat courgette & pumpkin with oil & seasoning.

​

2 Lightly oil a griddle pan (a flat pan can also be used) & heat over a high heat. Place the courgette & pumpkin flat onto the griddle pan & leave until char lines appear then flip over & do the same on the other side.

​

3 Splash a small amount of water onto the pita breads so they stay soft & toast them until they start to separate & inflate. Cut through each pita half way so they open out like a pocket.

​

4 Put half of the chicken, courgette, pumpkin & tomato into one pita, making sure they are evenly spread. Sprinkle cheese into the remaining space covering the other ingredients & sandwich them with a firm push to keep the pitas flat.

​

5 Over a medium heat, place the pitas back into the griddle pan* with the side of the pita with the cheese facing down. Heat until the cheese has started melting then flip over & heat for a further 3-4 minutes.

​

6 Allow to cool for a minute & Serve with the Tzatziki inside or as a dipping sauce

 

*a normal pan can also be used
