Greek Chicken Pitas






It's that time of the year. Fresh produce and grilling. It is what makes today's dinner so perfect on a hot day. Grilled chicken topped with a cool tzatziki sauce. If you are really ambitious a nice salad with feta would be good with this. I wasn't that motivated!

Grilled Chicken Pitas

Boneless skinless chicken breast
Fresh oregano
Fresh Lemon
Garlic
Olive oil

Marinate the chicken over night with the juice of 2 lemons, olive oil (1/4 cup), a couple of garlic cloves and fresh oregano. It is the marinade that makes this chicken really juicy and tasty.

Tzatziki Sauce

Greek Yogurt (16 ounces) I love this stuff!
Lemon juice
Garlic
Fresh dill
Half an english cucumber peeled, seeded and grated.



Strain the cucumber to remove moisture (you can also squeeze in paper towels). Add 1 or more crushed garlic cloves, cucumber, and fresh dill to yogurt. Add the juice of a half lemon. That's it! So easy!



Grill that chicken, cut it up and put in on a pita round. Top with red onion, tomato and the tzatziki sauce. Light food for a hot night.


Here's my kind of "lunchable", all packed up and ready to go.
