Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- kosher salt
- Pepper
- 1 pt. grape tomatoes
- 2 clove garlic
- 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce
- 4 scallions
- 1/2 c. fresh dill
- 4 piece pita bread
- lowfat Greek yogurt
- 8 skewers
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, then the coriander, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Thread onto skewers.
- Place the tomatoes and garlic on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold and seal the foil to form a pouch.
- Place the pouch and skewers on the grill and cook, shaking the pouch and turning the kebabs occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Just before removing from the grill, brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, scallions, and dill with the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and tablespoon oil, plus 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. If desired, grill the pita bread until warm, about 1 minute per side.
- Spread the pita with yogurt, if desired, then stuff with the chicken, tomatoes, and salad.
