1 pound skinned, boned chicken breast, cut into thin strips
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
•
½ teaspoon lemon juice
•
½ teaspoon bottled minced garlic
•
¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
•
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
•
⅛ teaspoon salt
•
½ head romaine lettuce, shredded
•
1 cucumber, diced
•
2 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
•
4 (6 inch) pita bread rounds
Instructions
Combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cinnamon, oregano, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a plastic container or resealable bag. Add chicken strips and shake until ingredients are evenly combined and chicken is well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
When you are ready to make the sandwiches, heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add marinated chicken, and sear until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken pieces.
While the chicken is cooking, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl or small resealable container, stir well to blend. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
Once chicken is cooked and sauce is prepared, assemble sandwiches by dividing meat, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes between your pita. Add a generous smear of the yogurt sauce (to your taste preference).
