Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 pitas, cut in half
Tzatziki Dip, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped peeled and seeded cucumber
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
Pinch kosher salt
1 small clove garlic, minced

Steps:

Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, onion powder, oregano and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatoes and onion and toss to coat.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly spread the chicken mixture on it.
Bake for 10 minutes, then add the pita around the edge of the baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through, another 5 minutes. (If desired, you can also broil the mixture for a couple of minutes more for more color.)
Serve with the Tzatziki Dip.
Combine the yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, mint, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

GREEK SOUVLAKI

This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

SOUVLAKI

Souvlaki image

This is the way I do souvlaki or shish kebab - and I mean the sandwich with pita bread you can find on nearly every street corner in Greece, not just the skewered meat. This is the best! Prep time does not include marinating time. OAMC instructions provided.

Time 1h

Yield 8 souvlaki, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut up into 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch cubes (or the meat of your choice)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (not traditional, but I like the flavour it adds)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (I use a whole dried one, crumbled)
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 lemon, juice of
1 (8 count) package greek pita bread
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 large tomatoes, sliced thin
1 cup tzatziki (Tzatziki)
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

To marinate meat: Cut tenderloin into bite-size chunks and put into a Tupperware with remaining marinade ingredients.
Swish everything around to distribute, put in fridge and forget for a day (this long marination is not absolutely necessary- but longer means more flavour. If you haven't the time, just do what you can).
When ready to BBQ, skewer meat onto metal or wooden skewers (remember to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 1/2 an hour first) and bbq until the meat is nicely brown all over, and you know you can't possibly wait any longer to eat.
To prepare the fixings: As you are barbecuing the meat, brush as many pita breads as there are souvlaki generously with olive oil and put on the bbq to crisp slightly or alternatively, into a hot frying pan, and cook about 30-45 seconds per side or until starting to brown and give off a yummy,'toasty' smell.
Here is the 'technique' part.
Have cut some squares of foil a bit larger than the pita breads.
Put a square in the palm of your hand and lay a pita in the centre sitting in your flat palm.
Take a skewer of meat and place in center of pita.
Squeeze palm shut around meat to get a grip with the pita and pull out skewer, leaving meat inside the bread.
Open up your palm slightly, making the pita gape open and throw in some onion, slices of tomato, a good dollop of tzatziki, some parsley, along with a healthy shake of salt.
Roll sandwich up by squeezing palm again (gently this time as the salad stuff is inside) and enclosing neatly with the foil, giving a twist on the bottom so no yummy juices drip out onto your clothes as you are eating this!
Enjoy our contribution to fast-food!
You will never settle for a Big Mac again!
To freeze: Place meat and marinade in a freezer bag or rigid freezer container.
To serve: Thaw in fridge overnight and proceed with cooking directions.
