Chicken Pitas with Tzatziki Sauce

Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas that are salty-briney-crunchy in all the right ways! Marinated chicken, roasted peppers, feta cheese with an easy homemade tzatziki sauce. Other optional toppings that would be tasty, simply add fresh cucumber and kalamata olives.

It’s comforting, light, creamy and of course filling. But mostly crunchy and fresh.

Pile that on a plate and grab a fork – or grab a piece of warm, soft naan, or pita, or socca (YUM), and get to eating. You’ve got the crunch of the peppers, and the cool-creaminess of the cheese and the puckery-briney of the sauce all happening in one big joyful bite.
