This recipe is for a yummy chicken pita pocket. It has chicken with special spices, yogurt, and veggies. You put everything in a pita bread. It's like a sandwich but with a different bread.

Ingredients

500 g Greek yogurt
4 cm piece of ginger, grated
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp tandoori masala
1 Tsp cumin powder
1 Tsp coriander powder
8 boneless chicken thighs
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, diced
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
1 lemon, juiced
4 Tbsp green chutney
4 whole wheat pita breads

Method

1
In a bowl, combine 250 g of Greek yogurt, grated ginger, minced garlic, tandoori masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
2
Preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 7 minutes on each side until they are charred and fully cooked.
3
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the remaining 250 g of Greek yogurt with half of the lemon juice, grated cucumber, and half of the chopped cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
4
In another bowl, create a fresh tomato salad by combining the diced tomato, green chili, sliced red onion, the remaining lemon juice, and the rest of the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
6
Warm the pita breads on the grill or in a pan for a minute on each side.
7
To assemble the pita pockets, cut the pita breads in half to create pockets. Spread some yogurt sauce inside each pita pocket, add a generous amount of chicken strips, and top with the tomato salad.
8
Drizzle green chutney over the filling and serve the spiced chicken pita pockets immediately.
