Ingredients

For the Honey Harissa Chicken

1 pound Pulled Rotisserie Chicken
3 Tablespoons 63g Honey
3 Tablespoons 63g Harissa*
2 Tablespoons 30g Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

For Serving

4 Joseph's Bakery Pita Bread or your choice of pita
1/2 cup 120g Tzatziki
1/2 cup 120g Reduced Fat Feta Cheese
1 medium Seedless Cucumber diced
2 Roma Tomatoes diced
Pickled Onions or Thinly Sliced Red Onion to taste

Instructions

Set your oven to a high broil and place a rack in the center position.
Mix the honey, harissa, lemon juice, and garlic powder together before tossing the chicken in the sauce. Transfer to a quarter sheet pan or large oven-safe pan.
Place the chicken under the broiler for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through. The sauce should begin to caramelize and the chicken should slightly brown and crisp around the edges.
To serve, spread the tzatziki on warmed pita bread** and pile on the broiled rotisserie chicken and toppings.

Notes

*If you can't find harissa, you can substitute it for chili garlic sauce, sambal oelek, or another chili paste.

**You can wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm on a skillet.

In case you'd like to make rice or greens bowls with the chicken or divide this into smaller portions, the chicken on its own has 920 calories, 117g of protein, 67g of carbs, and 18g of fat.
