Steps:
- Dice the chicken into one inch pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, red onion, parsley, red wine vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper together. Stir in the chicken, evenly coating it, then cover the bowl and place the chicken in the fridge to marinate. Let the chicken marinate for at least 3 hours, and ideally overnight. When you are ready to cook the chicken, heat a skillet over high heat. Drizzle enough olive oil into the pan to just coat it. Then add the pieces of chicken one by one so that any excess marinade falls off. Loosely fill the skillet, and as soon as the chicken has lightly browned, flip it over, place the lid on the skillet, and reduce the heat to as low as it will go. Let the chicken cook for 10 minutes. Repeat this process until all of the chicken has cooked. Serve the chicken with pita bread, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and tzatziki.

ASIAN CHICKEN PITAS
Everything that makes an egg roll great, without the deep-fat frying! I haven't tried this yet, just posting for safe keeping. **I've done a little research and think a great sauce may be the best accompiament I would suggest recipe #33113 by Bergy or recipe #89827 by Miraklegirl. Of course if you have a favorite sauce give that a try! Found on myrecipes web site

SWEET CHICKEN PITAS
Sweet but not too sweet. Delicious and low-fat. I always make these for one, so that's what the recipe calls for but they're easily multiplied. Also, I've never measured anything so my measurements are just "eyeballed" - customize to your own taste. Make sure to use red onion instead of white or green and deli mustard instead of plain yellow, these make all the difference. Cooking time is for cooking the chicken breast.
