Ingredients
4 whole pita breads
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Place pita breads on a baking sheet and brush each with remaining olive oil.
- Divide chicken evenly over pitas, then top with mozzarella, Parmesan, tomatoes, red onion, and olives.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and pita edges are golden.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Notes
Swap pita for naan, flatbread, or gluten-free options.
Add extra veggies like spinach, roasted peppers, or artichokes.
For faster prep, use shredded rotisserie chicken.
To avoid soggy crust, always brush pita with olive oil before topping.
