  2. Season Chicken: Toss the cooked, sliced chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated to enhance flavor.

  4. Add Sauce: Drizzle the yogurt sauce or tzatziki evenly inside each pita to add creamy texture and tangy Mediterranean flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the assembled pitas immediately for the best taste and freshness.
