Provided by The Wanderlust Kitchen

Categories     Burgers and Sandwiches

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of allspice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless (skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2" cubes)
5 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
4 pieces of pita bread
1 large cucumber (peeled and sliced)
2 large tomatoes (sliced)
1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, allspice, and vegetable oil. Add the diced chicken pieces and toss well to coat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken in a single layer and allow it cook for 2 minutes undisturbed. Continue to saute the chicken until cooked through, another 2-3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, oregano, olive oil, and salt to taste.
  • Assemble the pita sandwiches by spreading one quarter of the yogurt sauce over each of the four pitas, then topping with cooked chicken, cucumber and tomato slices, and topping with crumbled Feta cheese.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup Marie's® Original Coleslaw dressing
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in large bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, chopped in large pieces
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
½ head green cabbage, shredded
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
½ cup Marie's® Original Coleslaw dressing
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 pieces pita bread
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Marie's® Original Coleslaw dressing, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Marie's Original Coleslaw dressing, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Alternate pieces of chicken and onion onto each skewer, then place skewers in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken skewers, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Prepare the slaw: In a large bowl, stir together the cabbage, onion, parsley, and Marie's Original Coleslaw dressing until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an extra kick of spice, if you like.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a little oil to coat and grill the marinated chicken skewers. Turn skewers occasionally until chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with warm pita bread, slaw, sliced tomatoes, and extra Marie's Original Coleslaw dressing for drizzling.
