Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Toss the chicken with the olive oil in a large bowl, then add the falafel mix and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken on the rack and bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. While the chicken is baking, stack the pita halves and wrap them in foil; warm in the oven, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the hummus, lemon zest and juice, harissa and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the hummus sauce and reserve. Add the coleslaw mix, radishes and parsley to the remaining hummus sauce and toss. Season with salt. Divide the chicken among plates and drizzle with the reserved hummus sauce. Stuff the slaw in the pitas and serve with the chicken.

FALAFEL CRUSTED CHICKEN
We all know that fried chicken isn't healthy, but that doesn't stop me from salivating when I smell it frying it the grocery store's deli. As long as it isn't kosher, I don't think twice, but when it is, it takes all my self control not to buy it and eat it all in the car before I can even get home. Rather than let it destroy my health & my diet, I had to find an alternative. I was inspired by Susie Fishbein.

Tips:
- To make the perfect falafel crust, use a food processor to grind the chickpeas until they are fine, but not mushy. The mixture should hold together when pressed, but not be too dense.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also mash the chickpeas by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- Be sure to season the falafel mixture well. The spices will help to give the crust a delicious flavor.
- When frying the chicken, be sure to use a medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check to see if the chicken is cooked through by cutting into it. The chicken should be cooked through when the juices run clear.
- Serve the falafel-crusted chicken with hummus slaw for a delicious and healthy meal.
Conclusion:
Falafel-crusted chicken with hummus slaw is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The falafel crust is crispy and flavorful, and the hummus slaw is a refreshing and tangy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
