Cut the pita bread into cubes and toast in a 180°C oven for 8 minutes.
Cook the chicken in spiced water for 25 minutes, then shred it.
Whisk the tahini yogurt sauce with lemon and garlic.
Layer the bread, chickpeas, and chicken in a serving dish.
Pour the yogurt sauce at serving time so the toasted bread does not soften.
💡 Tip: Combining the bread at the last moment delays the base becoming completely soft.
