Enjoy Savory Mediterranean Ground Chicken Pitas with this quick easy recipe Perfect for a flavorful weeknight dinner thats ready in minutes


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole wheat pitas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • Optional: Feta cheese, olives, fresh herbs, spicy feta dip

  • Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken. Use a spatula to break it apart, mixing it with the onions and garlic.
  • Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  • While the chicken is cooking, warm the whole wheat pitas in a separate pan or in the oven to make them pliable.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, fill each pita with a generous scoop of the mixture. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumbers.
  • Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the filled pitas. Add any optional garnishes you desire.
  • Serve the pitas warm with lemon wedges on the side for that extra zing!
