Instructions
1

Begin by draining the canned chicken and placing it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

2

Next, add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.

3

In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to create the tzatziki sauce.

4

Mix well until smooth. Warm the pita bread in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly toasted.

5

Once the pita is warm, cut it in half to create pockets. Generously fill each pita pocket with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

6

Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the filling, ensuring each bite is flavorful. Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
