This meal is simple. Which is just what most of us Mom’s need on a busy weeknight, right? However, don’t let it’s simplicity make you think this dish lacks in flavor. That’s the great thing about this crock pot meal. The chicken is cooked to perfection in a lemon marinade and then shredded when tender. The shredded chicken is added into a wrap with a creamy tzyaki sauce (yum!) made with garlic and dill. Add some crisp cucumbers, red onions and fresh tomatoes and the whole combination is a favorite of mine. Great for any night you need a quick and healthy meal.

Instructions
- In a 5 quart crock pot, place the chicken breasts onto the bottom of the pot. Zest and juice the lemon over the chicken.
