CUMIN CHICKEN WITH TZATZIKI IN PITA POCKET/TORTILLA
Store bought tzatziki can be used to cut down on preparation time or make your own (recipe below). Cutting your vegetables while the chicken is cooking is another way to get this meal on the table quickly.
Store leftover chicken and vegetables in separate containers and refrigerate overnight. This makes a great salad for next day’s lunch.
