In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Prepare the Filling

Add the chicken breast to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with red chili powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes).

Cook the Chicken

Stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice into the chicken mixture. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Add Finishing Touches

Take a piece of pita bread and fill one half with the chicken mixture. Fold the other half over to create a pocket. Press the edges to seal.

Assemble the Pita Pies

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the filled pita pies, a few at a time, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Pita Pies

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt.
