This is a nice and simple sandwich that can be dressed a bunch of ways and has a good mix of protein, fats and carbs. I served these as a stand-alone for dinner and was satisfied.

Zaatar Chicken Sandwiches
150g chicken breast per person, sliced into thin strips
2 Tbsp. zaatar
Salt & pepper
Drizzle chicken with a touch of oil (a teaspoon worth max), toss with spices and air fry 7 minutes, shaking a couple times during cooking.
Whisk together:
1/4 c. yogurt
2 Tbsp. fresh dill, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
2 Tbsp. lemon juice (more if necessary to add more zing – I started with this amount and kept adding to mask the taste of coconut yogurt)
1 Tbsp. garlic powder (more if necessary)
Salt & pepper
Toppers:
Sliced avocado
Sliced cherry tomatoes
Sautéed mushrooms & bell peppers
Sliced olives
Cucumber strips
Stuff a pita with chicken, top with veggies of your choice & yogurt sauce.
My pita ended up not being able to hold all the chicken I needed to hit my 150g protein macro, so I had a little extra in the side – along with the avocado, which kept leaping out of my sandwich. Delicious.
