If you saw my last post (4 Day Meal Prep), you know I’m loving these pitas because they’re so refreshing! This is a healthy chicken pita is packed with my favorite, fresh Mediterranean flavors. The chicken for is brined in a rosemary and lemon zest heavy brine, then rubbed with more rosemary and grilled to perfection. Chop it up, then stuff it into a tender pita along with cool Greek yogurt, creamy hummus, and refreshing cucumbers and tomatoes. It’s so incredibly easy but delicious and perfect for summer!

Easy Tzatziki Dip

Tzatziki packs a ton of refreshing flavor thanks to shredded cucumber, fresh dill, and tangy Greek yogurt. It’s usually served as dip with appetizers or as a sauce to accompany a main dish.

        Hi Morgan and Justine, I just added the nutritional info for this recipe. This one is from a while back before I started counting macros…but I think I’m inspired to include it in my meal prep next week now!
