Healthy Cooking is a Little Greek To Me

I stole this recipe from my mother's Healthy Cooking magazine while we were at home and we tried it out last night. It was actually quite yummy so I thought I would share.

Greek Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup fat-free creamy Caesar salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pitted Greek olives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 pita breads (6 inches), halved
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced

Directions:

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the dressing, cheese, olives and garlic powder; heat through.
Line pita halves with lettuce, tomato and onion; fill each with about 1/3 cup chicken mixture. Yield: 4 servings.


NOTE: I rarely eat Greek food let alone make it so I had no idea what a Greek Olive even was. I grew up on black and green with the pimento stuff in it. Boring I know. I spent as long as Seth would allow me to in the olive section and found nothing "Greek" for under seven dollars. Thus we stuck to the old school and I just used slice black olives. I thought it tasted just fine. If you are more knowledgeable on Greek food feel free to "school" me!
