Fast and healthy....my favorite two words for weeknight cooking! Although I love to spend the day in the kitchen...having a job and a swimmer...that doesn't happen every night. This recipe idea is something I found on the back of a spice blend from Penzeys.
The chicken is cut into cubes and marinated in 1 T. Greek spice blend, 1 T. lemon juice, 1 T. water and 1 T. olive oil. Usually I do that in the morning and let it sit in the refrigerator all day. When I get home in the evening I saute the chicken and grate some cucumber, squeeze out the excess water and put that in plain yogurt. Serve it on a warm pita with feta cheese....and it's a crowd pleaser in minutes. Depending on my ambition level (aka time) it can be served with tomatoes, pepper strips, and/or onion. I was fortunate to get cucumber, red onion, and tomato in the CSA box this week,so we had fresh ingredients.
Sarah, our mutual swim mom friend, tells us that this is good with flank steak also.
