Easy chicken meatball pitas
Meatballs are one of the most versatile menu items. Use them in pasta, in soup and sandwiches/pitas. But the effort in making meatballs can be a tall order when the dinner bell is ringing, however this need not be the case.
Chicken sausage is already seasoned and ready to go, using it as a meatball base makes this dish (and many others) come together in a flash.

- 4 to 6 pita breads
