What you’ll need

Ingredient and allergen checks

  • The wholewheat pita breads contain wheat. Check the bread label for additional allergens such as sesame or soya.

These notes refer to the listed ingredients. Check every product label and substitution for your own allergies, and avoid cross-contamination during preparation. A dietary label does not mean a recipe is allergen-free.

Let’s make it

  1. Toss chicken with oil, lemon and oregano.
  2. Air-fry in a single layer at 390°F (200°C) for 12 to 16 minutes, turning halfway, until the thickest strip reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Serve in warmed pita with washed salad leaves.
