INGREDIENTS
- 120 grams of precooked chicken
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/2 tomato, sliced
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1/4 onion (large), diced
- 30 grams of tzatziki
- 1 pita wrap of choice
DIRECTIONS
- Grab a food scale and weigh out 120 grams of precooked chicken, then place into a microwave safe bowl. Note: precooked chicken is usually located in the cold deli department of your local grocery store.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the chicken and place in the microwave on high for 1 minute (or until preferred temperature).
- While the chicken is heating up in the microwave, open up your pita and start adding in your ingredients.
- First scoop in about 30 grams of tzatziki and spread it throughout the pita.
- Add in the cup of lettuce. Note: Adding in a lot of lettuce is a great way to make your pita more filling without adding in extra calories.
- Dice the onion and slice your tomato. Add into pita when prepared.
- By now your chicken should be ready. When it is, add it into your pita and gently shuffle it around to mix the chicken in with the rest of the ingredients. You’ve now prepared a delicious healthy snack! Enjoy!
