These pitas are a great way of using leftover chicken. When sending it for your child's lunch, package the pita, tomatoes, chicken and tahini sauce separately. Include a spoon or plastic knife so your child can have fun assembling it just before eating.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat pita pockets
  • 2 cups sliced cooked chicken
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • Tahini Sauce
  • 1/4 cup plain 2% yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 pinch salt

Preparation

Tahini Sauce: In bowl, whisk together yogurt, tahini, mayonnaise, 1 tbsp (25 mL) water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and salt ; set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Cut off top third of each pita. Open larger piece; slip smaller pita piece inside, cut side up.

Divide chicken and parsley among pitas. (Make-ahead: Wrap each stuffed pita in plastic wrap. Pack cherry tomatoes and tahini sauce in separate airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Add cherry tomatoes to pitas: drizzle each pita with 2 tbsp (25 mL) tahini sauce.
