A pita pocket is the best sandwich bread you can use. Pita bread can easily be cut open but not all the way through. Instead, you want to just cut a slit in one end and that creates a pocket that can be filled with other things.

Chicken and tzatziki in pita pockets are a perfect example of how this works. However, do not let this recipe scare you away. The instructions seem intense and the finished product looks complicated.
