I love the flavor of the chicken salad, but I found the pitas to be a little dry. Next time I'll try using a different type of bread.

These pitas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken salad was still delicious.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It makes the chicken salad so much lighter and healthier.
