Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Warm the gluten-free pita breads in the oven for about 5 minutes or until soft and pliable. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, and toss to combine evenly.
