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.
