I'm not sure if this is a Mediterranean dish with a southwestern flair or the other way around. All I know is that it's ideal for a summer dinner. The tomato relish is yummy as an appetizer with tortilla chips, so you may want to double it. -Cori Cooper, Boise, Idaho

I would love to try this recipe, but I'm allergic to tomatoes. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was dry and the tomato sauce was too spicy.

The chicken in these pitas was a little dry, but the tomato sauce was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
