Description

Grilled chicken with vegetables, topped with Greek salad dressing. The chicken cooks well in grill pans or panini makers, because it is cut into pita-sized pieces.

Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons lemon zest, divided
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 large tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green bell pepper, cut into rings
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 4 pita bread rounds
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. 2. Combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, water, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. 3. Place cucumber, green pepper, red onion, artichoke hearts, and garlic in a large bowl. Toss salad to distribute evenly. Cut each pita bread round into 4 to 5 slices.
  4. 4. Toast pita bread on the preheated grill until slight grill marks appear, about 4 minutes.
  5. 5. Place chicken in a grill pan and coat with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pan to the grill.
  6. 6. Grill the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  7. 7. Arrange chicken, salad, and pita bread on a serving plate and enjoy sandwich-style or as individual components.
