Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 pita bread rounds, cut in half
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped (grilled, rotisserie, or baked)
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for extra freshness)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes (if using).
  2. Add Caesar dressing, lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 2: Fill the Pita Pockets

  1. Cut each pita bread round in half to create pockets.
  2. Spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture into each pita half.
  3. Press gently to distribute the filling evenly.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.
  2. Pair with a side of fruit, chips, or soup for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh pita bread – Soft pitas hold the filling better without breaking.
  • Warm the pita slightly – Makes them more flexible and easier to stuff.
  • Want extra crunch? – Add crushed croutons inside for texture.
