Method
Prepare the Chicken Filling
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Spread the chicken mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Assemble the Pita Pockets
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the baked chicken with black beans and corn. Stir until mixed well.
- Cut the pita breads in half to create pockets. Stuff each pocket with the chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese.
- Place the stuffed pita pockets back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish each pita pocket with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt before serving.
