Crock Pot Chicken Greek Pitas


So quick and easy to make this dinner!  Loved all of the fresh veggies stuffed in the pita with the juicy chicken.  Everyone gobbled this right up.

Ingredients:












1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced (I buy the minced kind in a jar)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins
1 1/2 tsp. lemon pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 cup of water or chicken broth
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I couldn't find any individual size plain yogurts so had to buy the big guy)
1 tomato diced into chunks
Cucumber diced into chunks
Red pepper sliced into thin strips
1 package of pita pocket breads

Directions:
1.  Slice up your onion and mince the garlic (if needed)
2.  In the crock pot, put the chicken breasts tenderloins in and add the sliced onion and garlic.
3.  Sprinkle on the lemon pepper and oregano.
4.  Mix everything together, making sure to coat the chicken with the seasoning.


5.  Add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth (I used chicken broth).  cover and cook on low 4-6 hours.
6.  Before ready to eat, dice up the tomato and cucumber into chunks and thinly slice the red bell pepper.
7.  When the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the crock pot and shred it.  (DO NOT RETURN CHICKEN TO THE CROCK POT).




8.  Stir the 1/2 cup of yogurt into the onion garlic mixture that is inside of the crock pot.  Mix well so that all of the yogurt is incorporated.  (Can use sour cream instead of yogurt, but not as healthy).
9.  Heat pita bread in microwave for 20-25 seconds for each 1/2.  Spoon the shredded chicken onto the warm pita bread.  Put on top the yogurt/onion mixture.
10.  Top with the tomato, cucumber chunks, and red bell pepper strips.
11.  Enjoy!
