Chicken Pitas with Minted Yogurt

9/17/2013

How was your week? Were you able to take advantage of your evenings -- get things done around your house? make a special dinner for yourself?

I spent some time getting my closet organized. I worked on hanging some more artwork on the walls. And I headed to my first ballet class in more than six years. It was something different at the end of my week, a taste of something from my past, and something refreshing. And it was hard. Picking up anything after six years is bound to be challenging, but that was part of the refreshment -- that I was able to do it.

Last week I promised a one ingredient twist on an easy dinner. Mint. A simple chicken sandwich can be something different, something more refreshing with a minted yogurt marinade. Based on a recipe from Rachael Ray.
