Make it with Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Strips

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Arrange the chicken from 1 (22-ounce) bag frozen Nature Raised Farms® Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Strips on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until warmed through and crisp, 22 to 24 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients and tzatziki sauce.
  3. Stir 1/2 large-diced medium red onion, 1/2 large-diced medium English cucumber, 1 small-diced beefsteak tomato, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano together in a medium bowl. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed.
  4. Stir 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated medium English cucumber (for a thicker tzatziki,  squeeze the excess moisture from the grated cucumber before using), 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves if using, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 1 finely grated garlic clove, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt together in a small bowl. Taste and season with more kosher salt as needed. 
  5. When the chicken is ready, spread 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce onto each warmed pita. Top each with 2 crispy chicken strips and about 1/3 cup of the tomato mixture. Fold in half and eat like a taco.
