Use leftover chicken if you have any and just pull or shred it. If needed, poach chicken in simmering water for 15-18 minutes until it’s just cooked through. Then let cool briefly and shred or chop.
Take your time dicing celery, cucumber, onion, scallion, fresno peppers, and tomatoes. Stir together in a bowl with yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold in pulled chicken and fresh oregano and season to your liking.
To make a pita, microwave a pita for 25-30 seconds on high. Split the pita in half and stuff some arugula in each half. Then add slices of fresh peaches and spoon in some chicken salad. Serve immediately!
