Chicken Pita Pockets with Tzaziki

Ok. Here is our tonight’s dinner. My daughter actually eats it. She said it is like a taco but very different. If you are trying to cut back on calorie intake or low-fat diet foods, this is one way of doing it.

To tell you the truth, I am not into white meat (skinless chicken breast) but this pita sandwich I actually do like it. The chicken tender gives a distinct taste with the tzaziki. The minced garlic gives the strong taste on the chicken. It has a very light raw taste of garlic which compliments the yoghurt and the cucumber.

Not only for dinner but good for lunch as well.
