Ingredients

  • 1 cup nonfat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, plus 1 teaspoon
  • 2 large garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads, heated
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. In small bowl blend together yogurt, 2 tablespoons dill, garlic and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken with oregano, 1 teaspoon dill, salt and pepper. Sauté until browned and cooked through, about about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

3. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté onions until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

4. Return chicken and any juices to skillet. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.

5. Top pita rounds with chicken mixture. Spoon dill sauce over chicken and serve. This sandwich is folded in half and eaten. Pass the extra sauce, as desired.

Notes: Delicious! Very flavorful and a nice easy meal. Sauteed extra garlic with the chicken and used dried dill. Would be good with the addition of fresh cucumber and tomato as well.
