Mediterranean Chicken Pita

Homemade tzatziki elevates this recipe from basic, good sandwich to basic, great sandwich, but if you’re in a hurry, store-bought will do the job.

Ingredients

  • Tzatziki:

    • ¾ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
    • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
    • ½ European cucumber, grated
    • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
    • 2 tsp. dill
    • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • ⅛ tsp. salt
    • ⅛ tsp. pepper

    Pita:

    • 4 (6") whole-wheat pita pockets
    • ½ cup hummus
    • 5 oz. mixed greens
    • 16 grape tomatoes, halved
    • ½ lb. cooked chicken, diced or shredded
    • ¼ cup shredded light sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Mix all tzatziki ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors meld (1-2 hours).
  2. Slice pita pockets in half, and pull sides apart to create a pocket. Spread hummus in each and fill with greens and tomatoes.
  3. Mix chicken with tzatziki. Divide chicken-tzatziki mixture evenly between all pita halves. Top with shredded cheese.
