Chicken Caesar Pita Recipe ✨

Everything you love about a classic Chicken Caesar Salad — tucked into warm pita bread for the perfect handheld meal!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:
	•	3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 pieces)
	•	2 tsp salt
	•	1 tsp black pepper
	•	½ tbsp garlic powder
	•	1 tsp onion powder
	•	1 tsp smoked paprika
	•	Avocado oil spray

For the Caesar Salad:
	•	4–5 cups chopped romaine lettuce
	•	1 cup mayonnaise
	•	1½ tbsp Dijon mustard
	•	1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
	•	1 tbsp red wine vinegar
	•	1–2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
	•	½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
	•	2 tbsp olive oil
	•	½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

For Assembly:
	•	4–5 pita breads (warmed and cut open)
	•	2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced into half-moons
	•	Crushed croutons, for topping
	•	Extra grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

Directions

1️⃣ Bake the Chicken:
Trim the chicken thighs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray both sides with avocado oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Bake at 425°F for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
For extra color, broil for the last 2–3 minutes. Slice or dice the chicken once cooked.

2️⃣ Make the Caesar Dressing:
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic, black pepper, olive oil, and Parmesan until smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Toss the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine with about ½ cup of the dressing (add more to taste).

4️⃣ Assemble the Pitas:
Warm pita breads on the stove or a skillet. Cut each in half and gently open the inside.
Stuff with Caesar salad, sliced tomatoes, and the baked chicken.
Drizzle with extra dressing, then top with crushed croutons and Parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately — it’s creamy, crunchy, and seriously delicious! 🤍
