Just a few ingredients and you have yourself a portable, flavorful lunch!
This is part of my Grocery Haul Series, where a 2-bag grocery haul provides the meals for the week!
How Does this fit in with the Grocery Haul?
This is something I make soon after a grocery haul because they are nice to have in the fridge during the week. The utility ingredient here is the yogurt, and it will pop up in a lot of the recipes in the Grocery Haul.
Components
These are so quick to assemble and great for my school lunch bag. The components are pitas, hummus, chicken and pickled veg (if desired).
Chicken Pita Pockets
Makes 4 pockets
Active time: 10 minutes Static Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp curry powder or spice mix (see note)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 pita pockets
- hummus
- pickled vegetables (optional)
Method
Preheat oven to 425ºF
In a plastic bag, add 1 cup plain greek yogurt, 1 tbsp curry powder or spice mix, 1 tbsp salt and 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs and mix until chicken is thoroughly coated and spices evenly dispersed.
Place chicken in a pyrex dish and bake for 30 minutes until chicken is tender
For the final five minutes, add in the 4 pita pockets to warm
When the chicken is ready, cool and slice into small pieces.
Slice the tops of the pitas open and smear the inside with about 2 tbsp hummus. Stuff with chicken and pickled vegetables if using.
To store, wrap with wax paper then tin foil. To heat up in the microwave unwrap the tin foil and heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Otherwise, heat at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
