To make the sauce, first combine the remaining sour cream with the hot sauce. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.Step 5
Roughly chop the chicken and pick the leaves of the parsley. Combine the parsley with the pickled onions.Step 6
Toast the pitta and stuff with the cabbage, chicken, pickled red onion mix and the sour cream sauce.
