  2. Add Caesar dressing, lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 2: Fill the Pita Pockets

  2. Spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture into each pita half.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy

  • Warm the pita slightly – Makes them more flexible and easier to stuff.

  • Want extra crunch? – Add crushed croutons inside for texture.
