Ingredients:
For the pita dough:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of warm water
2 tablespoons of olive oil
For the filling:
1 cup of cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup of cranberry sauce
1/4 cup of chopped pecans
1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
Add in the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cranberry sauce, chopped pecans, feta cheese, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Take the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the chicken and cranberry filling onto one of the circles, leaving a small border around the edge.
Place the other circle of dough on top of the filling, and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out a Christmas tree shape.
Use a fork to press the edges of the dough together, sealing the filling inside.
Place the Christmas tree pita on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
