Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- 2 cups leftover roasted chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon za'atar seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the tahini sauce:
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the pickled onions:
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the pita sandwich:
- 4-6 small pita breads
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, za'atar seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and toss to coat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the tahini sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- To make the pickled onions, combine the sliced red onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Warm the pita breads in the oven or in a toaster oven.
- To assemble the pita sandwiches, spread a generous amount of tahini sauce on the inside of each pita. Fill with the shredded chicken, pickled onions, romaine lettuce, parsley, mint, and feta cheese.
