Carefully cut each pita bread in half to create pockets.

Generously fill each pita pocket with the Greek lemon herb chicken salad mixture.

Chef's Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. You can also lightly grill the pita bread for a smoky touch.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to substitute the chicken with canned chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Kalamata olives can be added for more authentic Greek flavor. If you don't have Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt can be used, though the dressing may be slightly thinner.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is best to store the salad and pita bread separately and assemble just before serving to prevent the pita from becoming soggy.
