Greek Grilled Chicken Pitas image

This is from the Taste of Home website. It was a great recipe as written, but I add mint and Kalamata olives when I make these. So I've added them to the ingredient list because I think those two changes make the pitas even more delicious. They're pretty filling, so I don't always serve side dishes to go along with the pita...

MARINADE
1/2 c balsamic vinaigrette
1 lb skinless chicken breasts
CUCUMBER SAUCE
1 c plain greek yogurt
1/2 c finely chopped cucumber
1/4 c finely chopped red onion
1 Tbsp fresh mint or fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Pour vinaigrette into a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients; chill until ready to serve.
  • 3. Preheat grill or oven broiler.
