How to make Greek Chicken and Tzatziki in Pita Pockets
This Greek recipe can be served as a lunch or dinner and could be an entire meal. No bag of chips, no bowl of soup, no side dishes necessary with these delicious sandwiches. Making Chicken and Tzatziki in pita pockets is a terrific way to taste another culture’s food while enjoying a delicious meal.
This recipe is filled with Greek flavor and will really fill you up. A pita pocket is the best sandwich bread you can use. Pita bread can easily be cut open but not all the way through. Instead, you want to just cut a slit in one end and that creates a pocket that can be filled with other things.
Chicken and tzatziki in pita pockets are a perfect example of how this works. Get the full recipe at:
