Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1.5 cups extra virgin olive oil
    2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
    1 lemon, juiced and zested
    1.5 tsp. ground oregano
    1.5 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast, thawed
    4 cups romaine lettuce
    1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
    12 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
    0.5 of a large red onion, chopped
    4 whole wheat pitas

Directions

Makes 8 servings (one serving = 1/2 pita stuffed)

Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic and oregano in a bowl. Whisk to mix into a vinaigrette.

Cut chicken into strips. Soak with half of the vinaigrette mixture. Chicken can be grilled, weather permitting, or cooked in a pan on the stove.

Meanwhile, chop or tear up romaine lettuce in a large bowl. Add feta, cucumber, and red onion; toss with the remainder of the vinaigrette mixture. The salad should be very lightly dressed.

Cut pitas into halves; mix chicken with salad and serve in a large communal platter or bowl. People can stuff their own pitas!
