3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once nice and hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, releasing naturally from the pan. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

4 Warm the pitas so they are soft and don’t break. This can be down on a griddle with a touch of cooking spray. Top each pita with chicken, Mediterranean salsa, and a dollop of tzatziki.
