LEMON CHICKEN PITA

This is a quick & easy weeknight dinner idea


What you will need
1 chicken breast
pita bread
tzatziki sauce (Trader Joe's)
shredded lettuce (bought shredded)
tomatoes diced
onion diced

Marinade
1 large lemon
olive oil
salt
lemon pepper
Mrs. Dash salt free chicken seasoning

Now what
preheat oven 350 degrees
squeeze all of lemon juice into pyrex baking dish, add olive oil approx 1/4 cup, place chicken in dish and coat both sides in juices, next sprinkle generous amount of lemon pepper on top, 3 dashes of salt, & Mrs. Dash.  Let marinade in fridge for 10 minutes (will have a strong lemon flavor which will be balanced out once everything is added to the pita.)

Once ready to bake place in oven for 20 minutes.  In the meantime prepare the pita toppings, dice tomatoes & onions etc...

Slice chicken into thin strips, zap pita bread in microwave for 30 seconds, add all the toppings, & serve!!
