Chicken Souvlaki Pitas image

These chicken souvlaki pitas are a favorite at our house, especially in summer. With just a few ingredients and a grill, we can enjoy a gourmet-style Greek dinner that's a snap to put together. Of course, a simple Greek salad on the side is a nice addition. - Becky A. Drees, Pittsfield, Massachusetts
