How to Make Chinese Chicken Sandwich

  1. Cook chicken breast until fully cooked and shred. You can pan-fry, bake, or use leftover cooked chicken.

  3. Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Place one lettuce leaf inside each pita half.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture generously into each pita half.
  6. Optional: Add sliced cucumber or carrots for extra crunch and freshness.
  7. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld (optional).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
