Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• To a medium bowl, add haloumi and cover with 
water to soak.
• Cut sweet potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with 
olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.


TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between 
two trays.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into 
half-moons.
• Slice tomato into thin wedges.
• Roughly chop parsley and kalamata olives. 
• Pick and thinly slice mint leaves.
• Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
• Cut chicken thigh into 1cm-thick strips.
• In a second medium bowl, combine lemon
pepper seasoning, a pinch of salt and a drizzle 
of olive oil. Add chicken strips, tossing to coat. 

Pickle the onion
3

• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 
onion, the white wine vinegar and a good pinch 
of sugar and salt.
• Microwave onion in 30 second bursts, until 
softened. Set aside.

Cook the chicken & haloumi
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips
until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes 
each side. Transfer to a plate, season to taste 
and cover to keep warm.
• Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut haloumi into 
1cm-thick slices.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high 
heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook haloumi 
until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer 
pink inside. 

Toss the salad
5

• To the bowl with pickled onion, add cucumber, 
tomato, olives, parsley, mint and a drizzle of 
olive oil. Toss to combine.


TIP: Kalamata olives are strong in flavour - add less 
if desired!

Finish & serve
6

• Microwave pita bread on a microwave-safe plate 
for 1 minute, until warmed through.
• Halve pita, then gently open up pocket and 
spread with garlic aioli. Fill with olive salad, 
zesty chicken and haloumi.
• Serve with sweet potato fries and any remaining 
chicken, haloumi and salad. Enjoy!
