This was amazing! My husband loved it and it was very simple to make.
So glad you liked it Patricia!
You don’t happen to remember how many points your oita breads alone were,do you? I made this on Sunda and am LOVING it as leftovers, but it would be helpful to know the points + count for just the chicken. I can plug it into my recipe builder w/o the pitas, jusy just figured I’d ask!
Hi Leanne, Glad you are loving the leftovers! We did too. I’m thinking that the points+ count for the pita bread was 3 to 4 points. I am guessing that the chicken alone would be about 4. Hope this helps.
These pitas were delicious and my family really enjoyed this with all the toppings. Thanks for posting!
Thanks, Lisa! So happy to hear that you liked them.
