Shish Taouk Pita With Garlic - Cucumber Sauce image

A luscious Lebanese chicken pita sandwich much like a gyro but not so overpowering. The chicken is best when grilled but can be done in the oven; the whole thing is wrapped up in a yummy pita (the soft, flat kind, not pocket bread) with garlic-cucumber sauce plus lettuce and tomatoes.

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1 lb white meat chicken, cubed
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
salt
1 cup cucumber, peeled
1 cup plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and black pepper
4 pita breads (the soft flat kind, not pocket bread)
1 cup shredded lettuce
sliced red onion
1 tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Marinate chicken cubes, white wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, thyme and garlic together overnight in the refrigerator.
  • The next day, prepare a grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Thread chicken cubes onto the prepared skewers, season to taste with salt and grill or bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 15 minutes, until there is no pink inside.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the garlic-cucumber sauce by combining the diced cucumber, yogurt, garlic and salt and pepper.
  • To serve, remove chicken from skewers. Spread pita breads with the garlic-cucumber sauce and top with lettuce, onion, tomato and the chicken cubes. Fold up and serve immediately.
