Mediterranean Chicken Pita Sandwich Recipe

Ingredienti

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Pinch of allspice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 lbs boneless (skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2" cubes)
• 5 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Pinch of salt
• 4 pieces of pita bread
• 1 large cucumber (peeled and sliced)
• 2 large tomatoes (sliced)
• 1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese

Preparazione

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, allspice, and vegetable oil. Add the diced chicken pieces and toss well to coat.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken in a single layer and allow it to cook for 2 minutes undisturbed. Continue to sauté the chicken until cooked through, another 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, oregano, olive oil, and salt to taste.

4. 4

   Assemble the pita sandwiches by spreading one-quarter of the yogurt sauce over each of the four pitas, then topping with cooked chicken, cucumber, and tomato slices, and finishing with crumbled Feta cheese.
