Ingredients
4 pita breads
250 g boneless chicken, cut into small cubes
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 tbsp yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sliced onions
1/2 cup sliced capsicum
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup mayonnaise or garlic sauce
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, black pepper, cumin powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well and marinate for 20–30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Add Vegetables
Stir in sliced onions and capsicum. Cook for 2–3 minutes, keeping them slightly crisp for texture.
Warm the Pita Bread
Heat pita breads on a tawa or in the oven for 1–2 minutes until soft and pliable.
Prepare Pockets
Cut each pita in half to create pockets.
Fill the Pitas
Spoon the chicken mixture into each pocket. Add shredded cabbage for crunch.
Add Sauce
Drizzle mayonnaise or garlic sauce inside for creaminess.
Serve
Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Add sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for extra freshness.
For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt sauce instead of mayonnaise.
You can grill the chicken for a smoky flavor.
Make it spicy by adding green chilies or chili flakes.
Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
