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](https://t.cfjump.com/10534/t/69853?Url=https%3a%2f%2fmusclenation.org%2fproducts%2fmn-600ml-cold-bottle-charcoal)

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](https://stayathomemum.com.au/recipes/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!
