Peri-Peri Chicken & Caramelised Onion Pita

• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. 
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at 
peeling off the onion’s outer layer! 

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat.
• Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 
5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, 
water and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until 
dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a 
small bowl.

• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high 
heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until 
browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
• In the last 2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle over 
peri-peri seasoning, turning chicken to coat. 
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer 
pink inside. 

• While the chicken is cooking, microwave pita bread
on a microwave-safe plate for 1 minute, until 
warmed through.
• Halve pita bread and fill with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake pita bread on a second lined oven tray until 
the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes. 
Little cooks: Help fill the pita bread with the cheese!
