Greek Chicken Pitas with Tzatziki Herb Yogurt Sauce

Grilled too much chicken and don't know what to do? Try this deliciously different dish made with lots of fresh vegetables and a tangy yogurt sauce. It's low in fat and an excellent source of protein, fiber and calcium. Opah!

Ingredients for sauce:
2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
1 cup peeled/chopped/seeded cucumber
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill or 1 Tbsp. dried
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

Ingredients for wrap:
1 (6 oz) skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp. light Italian dressing
4 (6 inch) whole wheat pitas, cut in half
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 medium tomato chopped
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 kalamata or black olives, pitted/sliced

Instructions for sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients until blended. Cover & refrigerate before serving.

Instructions for pitas:
Place chicken in plastic bag with Italian dressing and marinate for at least 15 minutes. Pound chicken until flat, then grill until done or cook with non-stick cooking spray in a large skillet until brown (~5 min/side). Slice chicken on a cutting board and set aside.

Mix the yogurt sauce with the lettuce, tomatoes and onions.

Stuff a pita with a few ounces chicken and the yogurt/vegetable mixture. Sprinkle 1 tsp. feta cheese and a few pitted olives and serve.
