Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or thighs, shredded
  • 1 can (15 oz/400 g) canned chickpeas, drained
  • 3 pieces pita bread
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Let’s make it

  1. Toast or bake pita until crisp, then break into pieces.
  2. Warm chickpeas and chicken with 1/2 tsp salt.
  3. Mix yogurt, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and remaining salt.
  4. Layer bread, chickpeas, chicken, and yogurt sauce in a serving dish.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and serve right away so the bread stays crisp.

Let kids assemble their own layers so they can choose how much sauce to add.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
