Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Wash and dry the fresh produce. In a medium bowl, combine the falafel mix and 1/2 cup of water (or 1 cup for 4 servings).

Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumber(s), halved tomatoes, vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

step 2

Cook the chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Toss to coat. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

step 3

Form & cook the falafel

Form the falafel mixture into 6 equal-sized patties (or 12 patties for 4 servings). In the same pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium. Once the oil is hot enough that a pinch of falafel sizzles immediately when added, add the falafel patties in an even layer. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil before flipping). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; immediately season with salt if desired.

step 4

Warm the pitas & serve your dish

Meanwhile, wrap the pitas in a damp paper towel. Microwave on high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until heated through and pliable. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap. Serve the warmed pitas with the cooked chicken, cooked falafel, cucumber-tomato salad, tzatziki, and sauce. Serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
