Greek Chicken Salad Pitas

erinBOberrin's Note:

These pita sandwiches are packed with flavor. They are great to serve for guests for a nice lunch. You can often buy kalamata olives from the deli section of the grocery store, the gourmet food case, or with the regular olives. If you need to save time, buy precooked, cubed chicken.

I tweaked this recipe a little, while sticking to the general idea. I made a greek salad, so I stuffed the pita with that, along with some roasted chicken breast. Instead of the dressing, I used tzatziki. It was delicious... I'll be having another one for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this great recipe

This was really tasty, quick and easy! My kids even liked it! I did have to substitute dried parsley for the fresh, but it was fine. Thanks for a new family favorite!
