Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 0.5 cup Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Carrot
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the diced chicken pieces.
Cook the chicken until it is golden on all sides and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to coat, and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds on the chicken. Toss to mix.
Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the cucumber and carrot into matchsticks, shredding the lettuce, and finely slicing the green onions.
Warm the pita bread in the oven or microwave according to package instructions.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of teriyaki sauce for a flavorful spread.
Slice each pita bread in half to form pockets. Spread a thin layer of the teriyaki mayonnaise inside each pocket.
Stuff each pita with a lettuce leaf, teriyaki chicken, cucumber slices, carrot matchsticks, and a sprinkle of green onions.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Teriyaki Chicken Pitas!
