Ingredients:

  • 4 large Mediterranean-style pita breads (approx. 6–7 inches)
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups (280g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) premium BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.5 cups (170g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (15g) fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the 4 pitas on the baking sheet and brush each with 1/2 tsp of olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
  3. Bake the naked pitas for 2 minutes until they feel slightly firm to the touch.
  4. While the pitas pre toast, toss your 2 cups of chicken with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika in a bowl.
  5. Remove the pitas and spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly across each one, leaving a tiny border at the edge.
  6. Top with 1.5 cups of mozzarella and the sliced red onions.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for 8 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are deep golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them sit for 2 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and slice into wedges.
