Spicy chicken curry-stuffed pitas with creamy yogurt sauce

No boring sandwiches on our plate. These super-spiced chicken tenders are paired with a fresh yogurt sauce and served in a warm toasted pita.

Indian spices are hands down some of my favorite flavors. Spicy, fragrant and oh so delicious. My husband isn’t the biggest fan of curry, but I’m slowly getting him to appreciate the complex flavor. Now, while you could easily make your own curry spice blend, I find it easiest to buy it at the store. I also love serving this in a pita, because you can stuff this sandwich super full and not worry about it falling out.
