Chicken Souvlaki
- 4 pieces flat bread or pitas
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup crumbled Feta
- 1/4 cup kalamata onions, pitted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh dill (I used dried)
Directions
- Heat oven to 200° F. Wrap the bread in foil and place in oven.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, Feta, and olives.
- In a large bowl, combine the oregano, thyme, pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons of the vinegar, and the lemon juice. Slowly add 4 tablespoons of the oil, whisking constantly until incorporated.
- Pour 2 ½ tablespoons of the vinaigrette over the tomato mixture, toss, and set aside.
- Add the chicken to the remaining vinaigrette and toss. Place chicken on grill and cook until done.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill, and the remaining vinegar. Spread the bread with the yogurt sauce and top with chicken and tomato salad. Fold in half, if desired.
I adapted this recipe from Real Simple. The original recipe called for baking the chicken, but I think grilling it made it absolutely delicious!
Really, really delicious!
