Introduction

My take on the Cooking Light version of Chicken Souvlaki! My take on the Cooking Light version of Chicken Souvlaki!
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    For the Tzatziki:
    1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely grated
    1/2 c plain Greek yogurt
    1 tbsp lemon juice (about 1/3 of a lemon, squeezed)

    For the Chicken:
    2 chicken breasts, well trimmed.
    3 tbsp lemon juice (rest of the lemon)
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp Greek seasoning (Penzey's Spices' is the best! Google it!)

    2 whole wheat pitas, split
    1 tomato, sliced
    2 thin slices of red onion

Directions

Sauce:
Finely grate cucumber. Mix well with 1 tbsp lemon juice and Greek yogurt.

Chicken:
I trim my chicken really well of any cartilage or hanging on skin and then fillet the thick end. I cut the remainder of the breast about the same size as the filleted piece. I like to get 3-4 nice thin slices of chicken from each breast. Marinate in olive oil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning for 15-20 minutes.

Grill chicken in grill pan or normal grill til done. (just a few minutes, they'll cook fast!)

Assemble in 1 pita half: 1/4 chicken, 1/4 tomato, 1/4 onion, 1/4 sauce.

Number of Servings: 4
