The tender chicken mixture that's tucked into these pita pockets has a cumin zip and refreshing cucumber-and-yogurt flavor. "A favorite at my house, this sandwich is great alone or served with soup or salad," Mitzi Sentiff writes from Annapolis, Maryland

These pockets were delicious! I used fresh spinach and chicken, and they turned out perfectly. I'll definitely be making them again.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These were easy to make and they tasted great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly.

I had a hard time finding wonton wrappers, but I eventually found them at an Asian grocery store. The pockets turned out great, though!

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
