    Halal Plant- Based Chicken Pita

    Main Courses, Recipes

    Who’s been lucky enough to eat at a NYC halal food truck?! We’ve partnered with our favorite plant-based chicken @daringfoods to showcase a New York Inspired recipe for their recent launch at @wholefoods locations coast to coast!

    Influenced by Egyptian cooking and found in street corners everywhere, halal trucks offer mouthwatering, satisfying and affordable meal options especially when you’re on the go. Growing up, I loved buying the rice platters and pita sandwiches and my favorite part is always the secret white sauce 🤤

     As a nod to their epic chicken pita sandwiches, we bring you this recipe made w/ @daringfoods plant based original breaded pieces! They’re perfectly crispy, packed with flavor and you can add them to salads, bowls and sandwiches! All of the ingredients we used for this recipe can be found at a Whole Foods Market near you!

    I’ve asked several halal vendors about the white sauce recipe and got nowhere LOL so here’s our try at recreating it. This one is made with a mayo and tahini base. SO creamy and rich! Recipe below 👇🏽
