Ingredients

1 1/3 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders, 2 packages from meat case
Salt and pepper
8 pita breads
1 ripe lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar, eyeball it
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
2 tablespoons fresh chopped oregano, 4 stems, stripped of leaves and chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 hearts Romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/3 seedless or English cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, a couple of handfuls, chopped

Directions

Preheat grill pan over high heat. Place chicken in shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Wrap pita breads in foil. Place in warm oven and heat until dinner is served.

Combine lemon zest, juice and vinegar in a bowl and whisk in oil. Add oregano, garlic and whisk again to combine into dressing. Pour half the dressing over chicken tenders. Turn tenders in dressing to coat.

Combine remaining salad ingredients in a bowl. Pour remaining dressing over salad and toss well. The salad should be very lightly dressed. Season salad with salt and pepper and transfer to a large serving platter.

Grill tenders 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer hot tenders to the salad lined serving platter. Remove pitas from oven and unwrap. Cut pitas in half and arrange around the edge of platter.

To serve, each person can pile grilled chicken and veggies into pita halves, wrap up on either side and enjoy!

Perfect for everyone!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So delicious and versatile. There was something for all the picky eaters in my house and the recipe is vague enough that... ingredient can be swapped in and out depending on what I have on hand. A great pantry-cleaning recipe. Read more

Great weeknight dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was easy quick and healthy. I also didn't feel like pulling out the grill pan so I sauteed it instead. The chicken was... moist and tasty. Eating healthy without feeling deprived. Will definitely keep this recipe in the weeknight meal archives!Read more

Family Night Perfection
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a total hit with my entire family including the picky teenagers! Great way to "hide" the good veggies from the... kids. They all loved it. The olives were a dominating flavor so maybe use a little less if that's not your thing. I used whole wheat pita pockets and everyone stuffed them full like tacos! Great fun. I served with simple baklava (Giada's recipe) for a treat after dinner. Rachael hit a home run in this family! Can't wait to make it again!Read more

YUM-O!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best Rachel Ray recipe I have ever had and it's so simple! I didn't feel like getting out my Foreman grill so I... sauteed the chicken instead of grilling. I think this actually made it better because the chicken was so moist. Also, when I put the pita bread in the oven, I brushed it with EVOO and put a little salt and pepper on first to give it a little flavor. DELICIOUS!!!!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe with some alterations because I didn't have them on hand. No lemon zest (didn't have a real lemon), dried... oregano--used less than recipe called for, no olives, used sharp cheddar cheese, no cucumber, no parseley. I used yellow onion and cremini mushrooms sauteed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and put over the salad then put the meat on top. Everyone loved it. I had mine as is, others used ranch dressing. Gret recipe I'll will try it will all of the other fresh ingredients next time.Read more
