Chicken Pita Wraps Recipe
Report
These Chicken Pita Wraps is an easy weeknight meal that is made by roasting chicken with chickpeas on a sheet pan then serving it on pita bread that is smeared with homemade tzatziki sauce.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs (455 gr) - boneless, skinless
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (15.5 oz. can)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pita bread
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup fresh arugula rinsed and drained
- Handful of fresh dill chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat-dry chicken with a sheet of paper towel. Transfer the chicken and chickpeas onto the baking sheet and make sure that they are on a single layer.
- Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle them with coriander, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Rub all sides of the chicken and chickpeas with the spices either with your clean hands or using a spatula and/or tongs (to flip the chicken).
- Roast for 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (it should register between 160-165 F degrees when a thermometer is inserted in the middle of a thigh).
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut chicken into strips.
- Meanwhile, if preferred, place the pita in the oven and let it warm with the residual heat for a few minutes.
- When ready to assemble, place a pita bread on a plate. Spread it with a few tablespoons of tzatziki sauce and top it off with chicken strips, a handful of crispy chickpeas, and arugula. If preferred, drizzle it with more Tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh dill. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Repeat the same process for the rest of the pita bread.
- Serve.
Notes
- Chicken: You can use chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken instead of chicken thighs.
- Arugula & Dill: Any leafy greens and fresh herbs (i.e. fresh parsley and mint) can be used.
- Pita Bread: Storebought or homemade naan and flatbread can be a good substitute.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container separately for up to 4 days.
