Greek Chicken Pitas with Tarragon Yogurt Sauce

Greek Chicken Pitas with Tarragon Yogurt Sauce

It's pita week here in the Hoopfinity household!  Let's see how many different things I can make with them before they're gone!
I could probably live on Greek salads as long as there's a little chicken added to it for some good protein.  These filling little pitas have just a little fresh spinach instead of lots of lettuce, so the rest of the traditional Greek salad ingredients are more prevalent and abundant.  I could get a straw and drink the cool tarragon yogurt sauce that has just a little kick to it with some red chile flake.  Enjoy!
