Scale

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Hot Honey Feta Cream

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Black pepper to taste

Other

  • 4 pita breads

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Add paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes to let the spices infuse. Finish by stirring in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Toss sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or sauté the vegetables over medium-high heat until they are tender and lightly charred, enhancing their natural sweetness.
  4. Make the Hot Honey Feta Cream: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, hot honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  5. Warm the Pitas: Heat the pita breads briefly until soft and pliable, either in a warm oven or on a skillet.
  6. Assemble the Pitas: Fill each pita with a generous portion of the spiced ground chicken, grilled vegetables, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
  7. Drizzle with Sauce and Serve: Top the filled pitas with a generous drizzle of the hot honey feta cream. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey in the feta cream for your desired spice level.
  • For a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt and vegan feta alternative.
  • Pita breads can be toasted lightly for extra crunch if desired.
  • Grilled vegetables can be swapped with roasted vegetables for variation.
