Mediterranean Chicken Pita With Turmeric Rice And Cool Garlic Yogurt Sauce Recipes
MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PITA WITH TURMERIC RICE AND COOL GARLIC YOGURT SAUCE
This meal pairs a tender chicken seasoned with Greek oregano with fluffy Turmeric rice and a cool, creamy garlic yogurt sauce. Turmeric has a warm, peppery flavor and a mild fragrance slightly suggestive of orange and ginger. This style of rice fits perfectly with this scrumptious pita and evokes the casual, satisfying meals often enjoyed on Mediterranean beachside vacations.
