Chicken Pita Pockets

with a Garlicky Feta Spread & Greek Salad

Pita pockets are sandwich superheroes. They’re light, fluffy, and hold pretty much anything you want in their roomy pockets—so if you’re going to make a pita sandwich, it better be fully loaded. This one does not disappoint: The whole wheat pitas are stuffed with a creamy feta spread, lemony chicken, and a crunchy Greek salad. Oh, and one more beautiful thing? We’re sending fully-cooked chicken breasts so you’ll spend less time in the kitchen—this recipe takes just 15 minutes from start to finish. Talk about pita perfection!

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce.

    Cut tomato into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into halfmoons. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Zest and halve lemon. Peel and grate or mince garlic.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, half the shallot, juice from half the lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

    In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, feta, a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice chicken* crosswise.

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining shallot; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

    Stir in chicken, lemon zest, remaining garlic, juice from remaining lemon, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until chicken is warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.

  4. 4

    Microwave pitas until warm and pliable, 10-15 seconds; halve crosswise to create pockets. Spread insides of pita pockets with feta spread, then fill with as much chicken and salad as will fit.

    Divide pita pockets between plates. Serve any remaining chicken and salad on the side.
