Charcoal Chicken Pita

I don’t know about you but on the days I just can’t be stuffed cooking but I don’t want full-blown take away I turn to my local charcoal chicken.

You’re going to love this Charcoal Chicken Pita!

Unfortunately, my kids decided the old chicken, chips and coleslaw just didn’t cut it anymore. So I reinvented it!

And they love it! A good ol’ charcoal chook and pack of pita just became a perfect springtime dinner, school lunch, weekend lunch or better yet, picnic food!

Ingredients

• 1 Roast or Charcoal Chicken, sliced like you would a roast

• 1 pack Pita Pockets

• 1 Tub Hummus

• 1 cup Baby Spinach

• 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced

• 3 Spring Onions, sliced

• 3 chilli, sliced

• 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp Sriracha Mayo

Directions

• Spread hummus on the base of the pita bread
• Top with baby spinach, spring onions, chilli, cabbage and chicken.
• Squirt with sriracha mayo and get stuck in! We generally fold the pita over like a taco, but hey, I won’t even judge you if you use a knife and fork! (Okay, that a lie, I will judge you, I just won’t tell you!)
• TIP: Get creative with these! If you love coleslaw, dollop it on! If you’re a feta freak, add some feta!
