This recipe comes from christinascaboodle.blogspot.com. It turned out super yummy, just don't overcook your chicken in the slow cooker or it will get dry! Don't skip the Tzatziki either! Trust me! Serve with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and Feta cheese. The 21 Day Fix containers used are: 1 yellow (maybe 2 with this giant pita!), 1 green, 1 red, and 1 blue.
