Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill leaves
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds split chicken breast, bone and skin removed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 small cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill leaves
1 (8-ounce) container plain yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-pound bag) refrigerator pizza dough, at room temperature
Flour
5 large romaine leaves, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Chicken:
  • In large bowl whisk together all the souvlaki ingredients, except the chicken. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons for Round 2 Recipe Greek Flat Bread. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured work surface, roll out each portion into 6 to 7 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
  • Grill the dough for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The pitas should be cooked through but still pliable and not too crispy.
  • To Assemble:
  • Put a grilled pita onto a plate, top with some cooked chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and some tzatziki sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients and arrange on a serving platter.
