Common Questions

Can I grill the chicken on an outdoor BBQ?

Absolutely! Using an outdoor grill adds a wonderful smoky flavor. Just use a grill basket for the small chicken chunks so they don't fall through the grates.

Is there a substitute for pitas?

Yes, you can use flour tortillas, naan bread, or even large Romaine lettuce leaves for a low-carb "taco" version.

Can I prep the salsa in advance?

You can dice the veggies ahead of time, but it's best to add the lemon juice and salt just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent them from getting watery.
