Mediterranean Chicken Sandwiches image

I copied this delightful recipe when I was in Italy visiting my Aunt Elsa. The refreshing sandwich filling is nicely flavored with oregano and mint. I like it tucked into chewy pita bread. -Marcia Fuller, Sheridan, Montana

This sandwich was amazing! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. The vegetables were perfectly roasted and the tzatziki sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this sandwich again.

This sandwich was a bit too salty for my taste. The chicken was also a bit overcooked. However, the tzatziki sauce was very good.

This sandwich was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the vegetables were not very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was good, but it couldn't save the sandwich.
