- Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko mixed with sesame seeds.
- Coat each piece of chicken in flour, then in egg, and finally in the panko mixture, pressing well so the coating sticks.
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and lightly salt. - In a bowl, combine the cabbage, apples, cucumbers, cilantro, mint, feta, and lime juice.
- In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, harissa, and honey until smooth.
- Warm the pita breads slightly. Fill each pita with sauce, crispy chicken, and the apple slaw.
