GREEK CHICKEN PITAS

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.
