Chicken Souvlaki:

• 3/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced once cooked
• Pita bread, grilled or broiled (this recipe makes enough for approx. 4 pitas)
• Lettuce, for pita
• Grape tomatoes, sliced in half for topping
• Feta cheese, for topping

Mix the first four ingredients in a bowl and marinate the chicken breasts for at least an hour. I pounded the chicken breasts out so that they would be thinner and cook faster. Grill the chicken for approximately 8 minutes per side, until cooked all the way through. Top each warm pita with sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, feta, and tzatziki sauce (recipe below).

Tzatziki Sauce:

• 2 6-ounce containers of Greek yogurt (I used non-fat Fage)
• juice of 1.5 lemons
• approx. 1/3 cup English cucumber, peeled and chopped (or peeled)
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1-2 tb fresh dill (measure to taste)
• 1 tb rice wine vinegar (approx.)
• few dashes of salt

Mix together all ingredients and refrigerate.
