Chicken Souvlaki

Broiling meat couldn't be simpler! If you use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 20 minutes prior to baking to keep the ends from burning and possibly catching fire. 


Ingredients
3 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts
grated rind of one lemon
juice of a 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
1/3 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
dash of salt and pepper
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
1 cup shredded lettuce
4 Greek pitas
tzatziki sauce

Directions
Cut chicken into 1-in cubes. In a large bowl, toss together chicken, lemon rind and juice, oregano, salt, and pepper; let stand 10 minutes to marinate.

Alternately thread chicken and onion onto skewers. (If you're using wooden disposable skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 20 minutes first so that they don't burn in the oven.)

Broil on a foil-lined baking sheet, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in side, about 10 minutes.

When chicken is cooked, spread tzatziki over half of each pita. Push chicken and onion off skewers onto pitas. Top with tomato, cucumber, and lettuce then fold over.
