- 1 1/2 cups (170 g) skinless roast chicken breast, shredded
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

Preheat the grill to the highest setting.

In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cumin, garlic powder, and turmeric. In another medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley and lemon juice.
Spread 2 1/2 tablespoons hummus on each pita. Top each pita with about 1/3 cup chicken and 1/4 cup cheese. Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each pizza with about 1/3 cup pickle mixture.
