- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
- 2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (1/4 pound)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 ounces (1 cup) unflavored yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large Vidalia or purple onion, cut into thin rings
- 6 pita breads
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce, finely chopped
- 1 (10.6-ounce) jar kalamata olives, drained, halved, and pitted, or other black olives
- 12 slices bacon, fried crisp
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Olive oil cooking spray
- Rinse the chicken breast and pat dry.
- Combine 3 tablespoons lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon of the oregano in a glass dish.
- Add the chicken, turn to coat, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow the chicken breast to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Combine the tomatoes and feta cheese in a small glass dish.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the olive oil, and the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano, and stir to combine.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, walnuts, and olive oil.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Spray a grill basket with olive oil.
- Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink in the thickest portion of each breast.
- Spread the onion rings over the surface of the basket and grill while the chicken is cooking.
- Turn the basket frequently.
- The onion rings will blacken as they cook; this will also take 8 to 10 minutes.
- When the chicken and onion rings are cooked, place the pita breads on the grill for about 2 minutes per side, until grill marks show.
- Slice the chicken into very thin pieces.
- At serving time, put out all of the ingredients and allow each person to assemble sandwiches: Split each pita.
- Place several slices of grilled chicken, 3 or 4 slivers of onion, a tablespoon of tomato-feta mixture, lettuce, olives, and 1 or 2 slices of bacon into each pita.
- Top with yogurt sauce and a wad of alfalfa sprouts.
- Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Fold up the sides of the pita and enjoy!
