Ingredients

  • 4 pieces flat bread or pitas
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup crumbled Feta
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted 1
  • 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut 2-3 in
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200° F. Wrap the bread in foil and place in oven.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, Feta, and olives.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the oregano, thyme, pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons of the vinegar, and the lemon juice. Slowly add 4 tablespoons of the oil, whisking constantly until incorporated.

  4. Pour 2 ½ tablespoons of the vinaigrette over the tomato mixture, toss, and set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining vinaigrette, toss, and set aside.

  5. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the chicken (without the liquid) to the skillet and heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill, and the remaining vinegar. Spread the bread with the yogurt sauce and top with chicken and tomato salad. Fold in half, if desired.
