Greek Pita With Tzatziki (See Jane Cook)
I love to cook–that should come to no surprise. However, sometimes (particularly on weeknights) I need a simple and quick meal that takes little effort. Once a pita is in the equation, the possibilities are endless; you stuff just about anything in them (take that as you will).
The chicken pita part is easy enough–no recipe needed. I simply seasoned a chicken breast with salt, pepper, and cayenne (I love spicy), cooked it, chopped it, and stuffed it into a whole-wheat pita with arugula, tomatoes, feta cheese, and this tzatziki sauce. Honestly, don’t even make this if you aren’t going to make the tzatziki–it’s too good to pass up. Tip: if you can handle it, add some sriracha sauce to the tazatziki to continue on the spicy path!

What’s your go-to weeknight meal?
Oh this looks delicious. I don't cook much, but one of the weeknight meals I love it's called Migas. It's more of a Mexican breakfast food, but I love it. Just a few tortillas cut in small pieces, one egg and some spicy salsa and I am a happy girl.
yum! i looove tzatziki sauce. it's so good. my favorite go-to weeknight meals are roasted veggies served with some type of lean chili (turkey or chicken) or grilled protein. easy and quick!
Delicious, Anna! I'm a sucker for anything in a wrap or a pita! Your fiancee must love all treats you make for him : )
You made me so hungry… I actually have everything I need in the kitcehn… I'm going to make this right now! 😀

Looks super yummy……I love pitas and tortillas. If I need a quick snack I put a tortilla right over the gas flame on the stove to brown it up…spray butter, a little cinnamon and sugar and I have a quick, healthy snack…
I make these all the time! I esp love tuna and romaine in pita!
YUM! I like spicy like you do and I LOVE tzatziki and pitas!yum!

I've never made my own tzatziki, but that sounds fabulous! I love anything stuffed in a pita too and I'm always looking for quick, easy weeknight meals. I'm going to have to try this!
YUM, my mom used to make pita sandwiches for me when I was in highschool… I need to start buying the ingredients and making them myself! I could eat Greek food everyday.
Delish! This looks like the perfect weeknight meal- and I am HGE fan of tzatziki sauce I feel like you can put it on just about anything!

This looks so good! (Minus the chicken for this Vegetarian.) My go-to weeknight meal would probably be Mac & Cheese. Isn't that horrible? I hate to cook! But I only have Mac & Cheese when I'm busy and/or if we're running out of food and need to go grocery shopping.
it's 10:30 and i just feel like i need some of this immediately…now if i could just wade through the boxes to get to the kitchen.

My dad loooooves tzatziki sauce! He puts it on gyros. I think my favorite fast meal goes a little like this: I grill a chicken breast, and put all the vegetables I can in the pan, sort of like a stir fry. I just mix it all up and eat it! when I'm extra hungry, sometimes I just make spaghetti in addition!
i could eat tzatziki sauce on more than a gyro. so delicious. never made my own before but should try it….
these look amazing!
These photos look delicious! So glad I found your blog and I'm excited to continue to follow you! xoxo
