Chicken in a pocket

Easy to make, great for the soccer nights on weekends. You can try with the different sauces and spices you can find in your kitchen. It's amazing how chicken can blend in so well with different flavours.







Ingredient A:
200 g of skinless chicken fillet
1 tablespoon of paprika powder
½ tablespoon of cajun powder
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
A pinch of salt
Mix the above ingredients together and leave it to marinate for at least 30 mins.

Ingredient B:
1 onion – sliced
1 clove of garlic – finely chopped
½ teaspoon of mixed herbs
8 or 10 cherry tomatoes – cut into half
1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
Chilli sauce
Mayonnaise
Buttercup lettuce
4 Wholemeal pita pockets

Method for pita filling:
  • Grill marinated chicken and sprinkle the sliced onion on the chicken.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove the chicken from  the grilling pan and place it on a chopping board and chop the chicken into small pieces. Leave the onion in the grilling pan.
  • On the same grilling pan, add in 2 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add in the chopped garlic and cherry tomatoes.
  • Once the tomatoes are cooked, sprinkle the mixed herbs.
  • Add in the chicken back into the grilling pan and add worcestershire sauce and leave the chicken to absorb the flavours.


Serving Suggestion:
Spread some mayonnaise in the pita pocket, stuff in the buttercup lettuce and the chicken filling. For extra flavor, you can add chilli sauce in your pita.
