GRILLED CHICKEN CLUB PITAS

Why heat up the kitchen on warm Indian summer evenings when you can take dinner in hand with these hearty chicken pitas from Lynne Ziegler in Odenton, Maryland? LYNNE'S TIP: I also roll up the chicken strips in flour tortillas and serve as grab-and-go wrap sandwiches. Serve any leftover chicken with mixed greens and the last of the garden tomatoes in lunch salads the next day.

Grilled Chicken Pita With Yogurt Sauce and Arugula image

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and rub with a little olive oil. Bring to room temperature.
  • Place a cast-iron pan or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

  • Heat pita breads in toaster oven or a dry skillet over medium-high. Cut each pita in half to make half-moon pockets. Fill each pocket with chicken, yogurt sauce and arugula. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
