Pulled Chicken Pita Recipe

This recipe is easy, tangy and fresh.
Pulled chicken breast packed into toasted garlic butter pitas loaded with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes.

The below recipe is in three parts (the pitas, the chopped salad then the pulled chicken)

I hope you like it as much as I do!

What You'll Need:

• 4 Pita breads (whole wheat is nice)
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1tsp garlic powder
• Baking tray
• 1/4 length of fresh cucumber
• 1 dill pickle
• 1 tomato
• 1/8 cup of vinegar
• 1 Tbsp sugar (or sugar-substitute, I used IDEAL)
• Medium-sized bowl
• Cooked Pulled Chicken - you can see how to make that, here
• 1 cup of My Tangy BBQ Sauce (or your favourite tangy BBQ sauce)
• Large saucepan

What You'll Do: The Pitas

• Cut each pita in half
• Place the halved pitas on your baking tray
• Mix your room temperate butter and garlic powder together
• Spread the garlic butter mixture lightly on the top of each pita
• Right before your pulled chicken and Tangy BBQ Sauce are combined, pop into the oven for 5-8 minutes at 350

What You'll Do: The Chopped Salad
This kebab-shop inspired salad is super easy and something you can store for a few days if you don't use it all up inside your pitas

• Using the same dicing technique shown here in my 'How to Dice an Onion' post, dice your tomato, dill pickle and cucumber
• In a medium-sized bowl, add in your diced veggies, then toss in your vinegar and sugar (or sugar substitute)
• Stir until you can't feel the sugar granules
• Pop into the fridge

What You'll Do: The Pulled Chicken with my Tangy BBQ Sauce

• Inside your large sauce pan, take your pre-cooked, pre-pulled chicken and slowly stir in your pre-made Tangy BBQ Sauce
• On a medium-heat stir the chicken until completely saturated in sauce
• (Pop your pitas into your pre-heated oven)
• Let heat through until piping hot

What You'll Do: The Assembly

• Now that everything is ready, this is the fun part - stuffing your pitas full!
• Take your pitas out of the oven
• Take your diced veggie salad out of the fridge
• Remove your BBQ sauce soaked chicken from the heat 
• Open your pita and stuff its brains out with the above

The STEWART SCORE:
Appearance: 2
Taste: 2
Ease: 2 (this is a really fast recipe to make unless you need to make the pulled chicken and BBQ sauce, then the time for this recipe increased about 45 minutes)
