Put the chicken in a pot with onion, salt, and bay leaf, then add enough water to cover.
Boil the chicken over medium heat for 25 minutes and skim the surface foam for a clear broth.
Break the pita into large pieces, spread on a serving plate, and moisten with hot chicken broth.
Remove the chicken from the bones, shred it, and spread evenly over the pita.
Heat the butter with red pepper flakes for 2 minutes and drizzle over the chicken.
Rest the kapama for 5 minutes so the pita absorbs the broth without falling apart on the plate.
💡 Tip: Do not moisten the pita with more than 2 to 3 ladles of broth before serving, or the base may fall apart completely.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle black pepper on top and serve hot.
