Leftover chicken is a big help when I am trying to cobble together a quick lunch or snack. I stash away the leftovers to make sandwiches or wraps in a hurry. I used pita pockets here, but any bread works. This is a quickly put-together meal with an assortment of ingredients. My favorite is definitely ketchup, hummus, and sour cream topped with onions and cucumbers. The measurements are just guidelines, feel free to change the ingredients and condiments with whatever is in the refrigerator. Leftover grilled vegetables or tofu provide a vegetarian option as well. The most important step is to season the chicken well, especially if it is leftover chicken from takeout or plain rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients
- 2-3 medium-sized pita (with pockets)
- 1 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1 cup sliced tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 4 tablespoons labneh, sour cream, hummus, cream cheese, or shredded cheese
- Ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce
- 2 cups leftover cooked chicken chopped
- 1 teaspoon zaatar
Instructions

- Sprinkle zaatar or any other seasoning on chopped chicken and mix thoroughly
