A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken pita recipe perfect for lunch or dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the patties.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ground turkey, yogurt, fresh coriander, ginger, curry, dried coriander, cumin, cayenne, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Place the patties on a greased baking sheet in a single layer.
Ensure the patties are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 8 minutes or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Warm the pita bread in the oven during the last few minutes of baking.
Wrapping the pita in foil helps retain its softness.
Assemble the pita pockets by placing two patties in each pita and topping with lettuce and chopped tomato.
Add your favorite toppings like sliced onions or a dollop of yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
Serve the pita pockets warm and enjoy your meal.
Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
