Pita pockets have become a staple in my diet as a student, they're healthy, filling and super inexpensive. The best thing about them is you can change up the recipe depending on what you have left in your fridge and pantry! They also travel well, so you can definitely take them as lunch for uni or work the next day, if there are any left over.
Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breast slices
- 2 tablespoons hummus
- ½ pita (cut so as if a pita pocket)
- ½ cup lettuce mix
- 4 grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 sliced cucumber
- 2 tablespoons salt and pepper
Method:
- Cut the chicken slices each in half
- Slice up the cucumber into 1/2 cm pieces
- Open up the pita pocket and spread hummus throughout it
- Then add the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and chicken pieces
*Optional: Toast the pita pocket for a crispy and warm pita!
And voila, you're done!- Z
