While youre cooking the chicken, toast the pittas.

When the chicken is done youre ready to start assembling your pittas.

Slice open one long side of each pitta (be careful as hot steam can get trapped inside the pocket and you can burn yourself pretty easily I am speaking from experience).

Stuff pittas with chicken, drizzle on some yoghurt sauce, add salad mixture, and top with additional yoghurt sauce.

Serve with additional yoghurt sauce I end up adding more as I eat cause its so good.
