\"\"<\/a>These were so incredibly easy. \u00a0I have a 5 month old, so if I think they were a cinch to prepare, then you could probably do it with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back. \u00a0And because we didn’t eat until past 8 last night thanks to my sweet boy who would not go to sleep, I had to borrow this picture from this site.<\/a> I cannot take good food pictures after the sun goes down. \u00a0It just doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

I got the idea for this meal from the Tasty Kitchen blog. \u00a0Here is the link.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I am only cooking for the two of us, I used 3 small chicken breasts, and could have easily gotten away with 2. \u00a0We have enough leftover chicken for a few more pitas and plenty of sauce also.<\/p>\n

For the tzatziki sauce I made just a few changes. \u00a0I could only find a ridiculously huge container of plain yogurt, and I just didn’t want to buy it. \u00a0So, I bought light sour cream instead. \u00a0When I mixed up the sauce I added a little milk to thin it out. \u00a0I also added some chopped parsley, which made this sauce incredible. \u00a0A little chopped mint with the parsley would have been extra special. \u00a0There’s something just plain wonderful about fresh herbs.<\/p>\n

I filled the pita with the chicken and sauce, but adding some chopped tomatoes and feta cheese makes these even better.<\/p>\n

For a side dish I made a tomato and cucumber salad with red onions and feta. \u00a0Simply toss chopped, seeded tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion, a bit of olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. \u00a0Oh my. \u00a0The perfect meal. \u00a0Enjoy.<\/p>\n
