Chicken And Portabella Wraps With Yogurt Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH YOGURT MARINADE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, oregano, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Zest the lemon over the bowl, reserving the rest of the lemon for serving. Whisk until smooth.
• Add the chicken thighs, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• If using a grill, clean and oil the grates. Set the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan slicked with olive oil on the stovetop over medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the thighs), covering the grill halfway through if necessary to retain heat, until cooked through.
• Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter and squeeze half the lemon over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

GREEK CHICKEN WRAP WITH HERB YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce:.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients until blended. Sauce may be made up to 2 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate until serving. The longer it has to meld flavors, the better.
• For the wrap:.
• Flatten breast to about 1/2-inch thickness. Place chicken breast in a plastic bag and add Italian dressing. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer; remove chicken. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
• In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken breast about 5 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through. Place chicken on a cutting board and slice thinly against the grain; set aside.
• Warm pitas in microwave oven 30 seconds. Place one pita on a plate and spread 1/2 cup of the lettuce and 1/4 of the chicken slices on top. Sprinkle 1/4 each of the tomato, onion, Feta cheese and olives. Spoon some of the herb sauce over top and fold in edges of pita. Repeat with remaining pitas. Serve immediately with additional sauce on the side.
• Serving Suggestion: Wrap sandwich in parchment or waxed paper for plating and serving.
