This is a recipe I found on Pinterest a long time ago and was curious how it would turn out. We made this for dinner on Friday night and it was a perfect light meal to kick off the weekend. I wasn't sure if one pita would be satisfying enough, but you will be surprised at how filling these pita pizzas are. The original recipe can be found on this blog. I made a handful of adaptations when I made my version - mostly using pitas instead of making your own pizza crust. Either way would be delicious!
Servings: 2
Servings: 2
Size: 1 pita pizza
Points Plus: 9pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Rating: 4 stars – Very good
Ingredient List:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 pitas
1 cucumber
2 Roma tomatoes
1/2 cup feta cheese
Homemade Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt, plain, reduced-fat
1/2 cup shredded cucumber
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. minced garlic
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large skillet, heat up the olive oil and cook the chicken. You may want to cut the chicken breasts into smaller strips to speed up the cooking time. While the chicken is cooking, you can make the homemade Tzatziki sauce and prep the veggies. For the Tzatziki, combine the Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, lemon juice, garlic and salt & pepper in a small Pyrex measuring cup. Whisk together until well mixed. Wash and prep the Roma tomatoes by dicing and dice the remaining cucumber. Once the chicken is done cooking, allow to cool for a few minutes before you cut into bite-sized pieces. Assemble the pizzas by brushing each pita with a little olive oil - then layer veggies (tomato and cucmber), feta and chicken. Drizzle the Tzatziki sauce over the top of each pita pizza. Cook in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes. You are really just warming up the pizzas and making sure the pitas crisp up a bit.
Tip:
For the shredded cucumber, using a zester worked well for me. You will end up with more juice than actual shredded cucumber pieces, but it will help to flavor the Tzatziki just the same.
