Chicken and Red Pepper Pittas with Tomato Yoghurt Sauce
By Ocado
Published on 07 July 2022
Halved pitta breads stuffed with sliced roasted chicken, sweet red peppers and crunchy gem lettuce are a winner – especially when paired with our healthy tomato yoghurt sauce. For more variety throughout the week in your child’s lunchboxes, use different fillings on different days. Turkey, ham, salami, cheese or houmous are all great protein options – and you can use whichever veg your child prefers. The tomato yoghurt sauce pairs well with most pitta fillings and is also ideal as a dip for mini sausages or carrot sticks. To complete the ‘Great Value’ Lunchbox recipe try the Strawberries with Choco-vanilla Yoghurt Dip and Egg Muffins with Cheddar, Cherry Tomatoes and Baby Spinach.Time and servings
