FULL RECIPE POST:
Peri Peri Chicken Pitas | Makes 4
????INGREDIENTS????
6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, bring close to room temp
1/2 cup / 120ml Peri Peri Sauce, or as needed (spice level of choice)
2 tbsp Peri Peri Seasoning
2 tbsp Olive Oil
4 Pita Breads, sliced into pockets (see notes)
14oz / 400g block of Halloumi
4 heaped tbsp Hummus
2 Roasted Red Peppers, sliced (see notes)
Spinach, as needed (or greens of choice)
????METHOD????
Lay chicken thighs on a board and cover with cling film (pinch around the edges so no juices escape). Pound the chicken until level thickness, but not so much they start to break apart. Coat the thighs in seasoning and oil.
Heat up a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat, then add your thighs (you may need to do this in two batches). Leave to fry until they start to char, then flip and liberally brush the cooked side with peri peri sauce. Continue frying until the other side chars and the thighs are piping hot through the centre.
Timings will depend on thickness of the thighs. If your thighs are fairly thick then consider lowering heat to a medium after flipping, just to ensure they cook right through without charring too much. Once cooked, remove from pan and place sauce side down, then brush again with peri peri sauce. Allow to rest, then just before needed slice into thin strips.
Meanwhile, slice your halloumi into 12-16 strips (3-4 per pita) then use paper towel to soak up any excess moisture. Lower pan heat to a medium heat and remove any chunks of char with your tongs. Leave chicken fat.
Add your halloumi strips and fry both sides until soft and grill marks appear (again, work in batches if you need).
Spread hummus inside your pita pockets, top with spinach, then halloumi, followed by roasted red peppers and finish with your chicken strips. Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken Pitas Recipe
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs seasoned with greek seasoning and grilled hot and fast for grilled chicken pitas

Grilled Chicken Pitas
When it’s hot outside, I look for recipes that can be cooked quick and easy. For these grilled chicken pitas I start with boneless, skinless chicken thighs (yes you can substitute white meat if you want) and some fresh vegetables: yellow squash, zucchini squash, red onion, and sweet peppers.
Rinse the vegetables and slice the squash into 1/4” strips. Peel and quarter the red onion.
Place the thighs in one ziplock bag and the vegetables in another. For a quick marinade I use Spedie Sauce (it’s a Mediterranean style marinade I found at Kroger). Divide the bottle of Spedie Sauce over the thighs and vegetables and refrigerate for an hour. I like to prep everything in the morning and it’s ready to grill that evening for a quick dinner.
When you’re ready to cook, fire up a charcoal grill and remove the thighs and vegetables from the marinade. Start with the chicken and grill hot and fast. Season the meat with your favorite Greek Seasoning as it cooks and don’t go too far from the grill because the thighs will need turning often. It only takes about 8-10 minutes for them to fully cook. Internal temperature should reach at least 175 degrees.
Remove the chicken thighs from the grill and hold to the side loosely covered with aluminum foil. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Be sure to season the vegetables with Greek Seasoning and flip as needed just don’t over cook them.
To serve this dish, warm pita bread on the grill for 30-45 seconds. Cut the thighs into bite-size slices and place on a large platter with the grilled vegetables.
We serve it family style on the dinner table with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and a bowl of tzatziki sauce. This recipe is great for a quick summer dinner.
Grilled Chicken Pitas Ingredients
- 2lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 18oz Spedie Sauce - Salamida Original State Fair
- 2oz Greek Seasoning
- 2 Yellow Squash
- 2 Zucchini Squash
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 dozen small Sweet Peppers assorted colors
For serving:
- Pita Bread or your favorite flat bread
- Shredded Lettuce
- Diced Tomato
- Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Tzatziki Sauce* recipe below
Directions:
1. Place Chicken Thighs in a ziplock bag and pour half of the bottle of Spedie Sauce over the thighs. Move the thighs around in the marinade for even coverage and refrigerate for at least one hour up to overnight.
2. Wash and vertically slice the squash into 1/4” pieces, quarter the red onion, and place all the vegetables in a ziplock bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the vegetables and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Set up a charcoal grill for direct heat grilling adding a couple small chunks of your favorite wood on the hot coals for smoke flavor.
4. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place on the grill. Season each thigh with greek seasoning as they cook. Total cook time is about 10 minutes. Place each thigh on a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
5. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and place on the grill. Season with remaining greek seasoning and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender turning as needed.
6. Warm the pitas for 30-45 seconds on the grill. Slice the thighs into bite size pieces and place on a platter along with the grilled vegetables. Serve family style with lettuce, diced tomatoes, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
