Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g Chicken Mince
- 150 g Feta Cheese
- 1 Medium Red Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh Mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken mince, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh mint, and fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken mixture, breaking it apart as it cooks. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until no longer pink.
- Once cooked, gently fold in crumbled feta cheese and heat for another minute until melty.
- While the filling cools, heat remaining olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Cut pita bread in half to open each pocket.

- Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
