- 1 large clove of garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
BAKED PITA CHIPS
- 3 round pocket-style pitas
- 3 Tbsp (45 mL) butter, melted
- 2 tsp (10 mL) oregano
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
NACHO TOPPINGS
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) butter
- 1 cup (250 mL) red onion, diced
- 12 oz (375 g) boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
- 1 tsp (5 mL) oregano
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup (250 mL) crumbled Canadian cow’s milk Feta cheese

Directions
Tzatziki:
| 1. | In a bowl, stir together yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. |
Baked Pita Chips:
| 1. | Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Separate pitas around the circumference into 2 flat circles and place 3 on a baking sheet. Stir together melted butter and oregano and brush over pitas. Sprinkle with half of the salt and bake for about 4 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining pitas. Let cool. |
Nacho Topping:
| 1. | Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken, oregano, salt and pepper and cook, stirring for about 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. |
| 2. | Break up pita chips into large ‘chip’-size pieces and spread evenly over a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with olives and feta. Bake for about 5 minutes or until Feta cheese melts slightly. Remove from oven and drizzle with tzatziki and tomato to serve. |
Tips
- Try adding fresh toppings like shredded lettuce, herbs or cucumber after baking.
