Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (can be rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh dill, ranch seasoning mix, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

    Blend Chicken and Dressing: Add the shredded chicken to the dressing mixture, stirring until the chicken is well coated in the creamy dill ranch sauce.

      Prepare Pita Pockets: Carefully cut the pita pockets in half to create a pocket. If you prefer, you can warm the pitas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.

        Assemble the Pockets: Stuff each pita half with a generous amount of the creamy dill ranch chicken mixture, followed by layers of shredded romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion rings.

          Serve Immediately: Serve the stuffed pita pockets immediately to enjoy while fresh. For an extra touch, you can drizzle more of the creamy dressing over the top before serving.

            Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle additional fresh dill on top for garnish or serve with a side of extra dressing for dipping.
