The Best Chicken Pita

Serves: up to 4 | Cooking time: 35 minutes

A Farmer Focus Simple Recipe!

A good ol’ chicken pocket of any kind is a classic simple meal. Whether it’s in a rice paper roll, a tortilla, or a pita pocket— eatable containers make life a little easier.

We landed on the pita pocket as our ultimate favorite, and created a Greek marinade that really steals the show.
