👩🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Cook the Ground Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook 6–8 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Stir in fresh lemon juice and remove from heat.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Hot Honey Feta Cream
In a bowl or food processor, combine feta, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness, spice, or lemon as desired.
3️⃣ Assemble the Pitas
Spread a generous layer of garlic hot honey feta cream inside each warm pita. Add a hearty portion of seasoned ground chicken. Top with shredded lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
4️⃣ Serve
Serve immediately while warm. Drizzle extra feta cream over the top for added richness. Pair with roasted potatoes, rice, or a crisp Mediterranean salad.
