Greek Pita Sandwiches (Kristi H)

pita bread

Filling:
chicken breast
greek seasoning
onion (green, red, yellow - your favorite), chopped
tomato, chopped or sliced
lettuce, torn
olives, sliced

Greek Sauce:
3/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (or use some of both)
1/3 cucumber, diced very small
1 tsp. mint (optional)
1 tsp. dill
a sprinkle of garlic salt (optional)
greek seasoning (to taste)

How much you need of each ingredient depends on how many sandwiches you're making. One chicken breast will fill about 3-4 pita halves. The quantities for the sauce will make enough for about 6 pita halves.

Brown your chicken in a skillet with a nice coating of greek seasoning on each side, then cut it into bite size pieces. The chicken is good warm or cold in these sandwiches. Chop or slice the other filling ingredients and the cucumber.

The secret is in the sauce. Mix all the sauce ingredients together and use a heaping spoonful or two (or more) for each pita. You can pile everything on top of a whole pita and fold it like a taco or cut the pita bread in two and open up to stuff. Use all the filling ingredients you like and none you don't.
