Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce
Chicken Souvlaki:
3/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced once cooked
Pita bread, grilled or broiled (this recipe makes enough for approx. 4 pitas)
Lettuce, for pita
Grape tomatoes, sliced in half for topping
Feta cheese, for topping
Mix the first four ingredients in a bowl and marinate the chicken breasts for at least an hour. I pounded the chicken breasts out so that they would be thinner and cook faster. Grill the chicken for approximately 8 minutes per side, until cooked all the way through. Top each warm pita with sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, feta, and tzatziki sauce (recipe below). Tzatziki Sauce:
2 6-ounce containers of Greek yogurt (I used non-fat Fage)
juice of 1.5 lemons
approx. 1/3 cup English cucumber, peeled and chopped (or peeled)
1 clove of garlic, minced
1-2 tb fresh dill (measure to taste)
1 tb rice wine vinegar (approx.)
few dashes of salt
Mix together all ingredients and refrigerate.
