Recipe: Pita Chicken Sandwiches

Pita Chicken Sandwiches

4 broiler-fryer chicken breasts fillets, boneless, skinless (about 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped chives
1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1 small cucumber, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
4 slices pita bread (8-inch size)

In non-stick frypan, pour olive oil. Heat about 2 minutes on medium temperature. Add chicken and cook about 6 minutes.

Turn chicken, add onion and cook about 6 minutes more until onion is clear and chicken is tender. Remove from heat. Cut chicken into thin slices across grain of breast; place in bowl. Add sauteed onion; sprinkle with salt and pepper, mixing carefully. Add vinegar and chives; mix well.

In small bowl, mix together yogurt and cucumber.

On each piece of pita bread, spread 2 tablespoons yogurt-cucumber sauce. Then place 1/4 of the chicken mixture on pita bread; fold in half, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.

For picnic, place in ice chest or insulated container until serving time. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
