Tandoori Spiced Chicken Pita Pizza with Greek Yogurt and Cilantro

My family and I are big picnickers, and I'm always looking for new dishes to try in the great outdoors. The amazing flavors at our favorite Indian restaurant inspired these mini pizzas.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads (6 inches)
