A great weeknight meal with a make-ahead sauce.
Ingredient List
Tzaziki sauce
- 1 cup from 1 tub Mountain High™ Original Plain Whole Milk Yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and finely chopped cucumber
Pita pockets
- 1 package (14 oz) chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pita (pocket) breads (6 inch), cut in half to form pockets
- 8 leaves lettuce
- 1/4 cup red onion slices
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine yoghurt, garlic, and cucumber. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours to blend flavors.
- To make the pitas, season chicken with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once or until no longer pink in the center.
- Assemble each sandwich by lining a pita half with a lettuce leaf. Spoon in some warm chicken and onion pieces. Top with some Tzaziki sauce and tomato slices. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Feel free to use Mountain High™ Plain Low Fat Yoghurt instead of Mountain High™ Original Plain Whole Milk Yoghurt, if you'd like.
