  • 2.5 pounds chicken breast split skinless sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • small cucumber diced
  • tablespoons freshly dill leaves chopped
  • tablespoon garlic chopped
  • teaspoons penzey's southwest seasoning italian
  • tablespoon juice of lemon 
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • teaspoon salt 

Equipment

Directions

  1. In large bowl whisk together all the souvlaki ingredients, except the chicken. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons for Round 2 Recipe Greek Flat Bread.
  2. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and set aside.
  6. 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.
  7. Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
  8. Grill the dough for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The pitas should be cooked through but still pliable and not too crispy.
  9. 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.
