Crock Pot Greek Chicken Pitas

February 18, 2014 by Amy Arndt 9 Comments

crock pot greek chicken pitascrock pot greek chicken pitas are super-easy to make and the chicken has an amazing flavor to it. These were so yummy that my family requested that I make them again, but this time make a double batch. They were that GOOD!

Crock Pot Greek Chicken Pitas

  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins (my package weighed 1.15 lbs.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1 (5.3 oz.) container of plain yogurt (I was only able to find plain yogurt in the Greek variety, so that is what I used)
  • 1 package of pita pocket breads, any variety
  • 1 tomato, diced into chunks
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced into chunks
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 c. water or chicken broth

*Note: You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Cook the same way.

Step 5: Before it is almost done cooking, dice up the tomato and cucumber into chunks and thinly slice the red bell pepper.

*Note: The picture shows some of the chicken not shredded. I wanted you to see the pretty coloring on the chicken. At the bottom of the plate you will see what the shredded chicken should look like.

*Note: If you don't want to use yogurt, you can use sour cream.

With a spoon, spread some of the onion/garlic mixture onto the chicken. Top with the tomato and cucumber chunks, along with the red bell pepper strips.

*This recipe is very versatile to what your family likes to eat especially with the toppings. You could use Feta cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced red onion and yellow pepper.

    Does the 1 red, 1 yellow and 1/2 green count as one whole pita (two halves)?

    Can you safely reheat the yogurt sauce? I know dairy is a tricky ingredient in that sense.

NOVEMBER = THANKSGIVING

Why not make it a practice to express gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving?  What we focus on expands.  It's so easy to see all the negativity in the world, especially online. Is anyone interested in joining me for a daily gratitude photo challenge?  If we focus on the little things that we are grateful for, our whole world changes. The blog post about it and.pdf of the checklist are on mommysavers.com .
