Ingredients
Souvlaki Marinade:
-
¾ cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Tzatziki Sauce (cucumber sauce):
-
½ cup seeded, shredded cucumber
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 cup plain yogurt
-
¼ cup sour cream
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
½ tablespoon rice vinegar
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
-
½ teaspoon Greek seasoning
-
kosher salt to taste
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
4 large pita bread rounds
-
1 heart of romaine lettuce, cut into 1/4 inch slices
-
1 red onion, thinly sliced
-
1 tomato, halved and sliced
-
½ cup kalamata olives
-
½ cup pepperoncini
-
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
-
In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinaigrette, juice from 1/2 lemon, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
-
Toss shredded cucumber with 1 teaspoon kosher salt; set aside for at least 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix yogurt, sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Season with garlic, fresh dill, and Greek seasoning. Squeeze cucumber to remove any excess water; stir into sauce. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Remove chicken from marinade and place on the preheated grill. Discard remaining marinade. Cook chicken until juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from heat, and allow to sit about 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
-
Place pita rounds on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes, until warm, turning frequently to avoid burning. Arrange warmed pita, sliced chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, olives, and pepperoncini on a serving platter. Serve tzatziki sauce and feta cheese in separate bowls on the side. Stuff pita pockets with chicken and toppings to serve.
