    Method

    1. Heat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the chips on a baking tray and cook for 20 mins. Put the chicken nuggets onto another baking tray and cook for 15 mins.
    2. Meanwhile, put the soft cheese in a bowl. Add 1-2 tbsp hot water and season with pepper. Mix until smooth.
    3. To serve, toast the pittas. Split them in half width-ways then open each half to make 12 pitta pockets. Spread each pitta pocket with some of the soft cheese and stuff with lettuce leaves and cucumber. Put 2-3 crispy chicken nuggets into each pitta. Drizzle with the remaining soft cheese, and serve three pieces per person, alongside the chips.
