Mini Chicken Basil Parmesan Pita Appetizers
These Chicken Basil Parmesan Pita Appetizers are super easy to make and definitely a crowd pleaser. You can make them as appetizers with the mini pitas or serve them as sandwiches using larger pitas or tortillas with lettuce tucked inside. Only 1 Freestyle point per 2 tablespoons of filling. No one would even guess they are healthy for you!
Weight Watchers Points: 2 T. filling equals 1 Freestyle Smart Point; If using 1 point mini pitas, each pita half with filling works out to be 1 1/2 points each or 2 halves for 3 points.
