    About 10 minutes before serving, heat pita bread folds as directed on package. Meanwhile, remove chicken from cooker; place on plate. Stir yogurt into onion mixture.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pita bread folds are softer than regular pita bread, and fold without cracking. At the grocery store, look for the folds in the deli or near the pita breads.
  • tip 2
    Substitute 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel for the lemon-pepper seasoning.
  • tip 3
    To shred tender slow-cooked chicken, place it on a large plate. Use 2 forks to separate chicken into shreds. Shredded chicken absorbs flavorful juices and makes delicious, easy-to-eat sandwiches.
