I LOVE finding new recipes that will become one of my family’s new favorites. This recipe for Greek Chicken Pita’s is officially added to my ‘favorites’ list. If you love Mediterranean flavors and lemon, this recipe will be one you will want to try. This recipe is also a slow cooker recipe which helps you get dinner done in a hurry! You can also use rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken or even a good quality chicken nugget. Use whatever chicken you have on hand and with this cucumber cream sauce it will be amazing!

- CUCUMBER CREAM SAUCE:

Instructions
- Place chicken breasts, olive oil, rosemary, chicken base, lemon juice, thyme, oregano, vinegar, salt & pepper, and water in a crock pot. Cook on medium high heat for 4-6 hours, or until tender.
