A delicious and easy way to jazz up a sandwich is to add flavor. I start by using the most flavorful deli meat. Then, I pair it with a fresh array of vegetables and sauces. I love the flavor combination of Sara Lee® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast with a tangy four ingredient homemade Greek tzatziki sauce. A simple glaze of cherry preserves adds a rich flavor to the pita wrap that will transform your taste buds.
