Direcciones

  1. To marinate chicken: In a shallow baking dish, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Continue to whisk and incorporate oregano, salt and pepper. Place chicken in dish and ensure it is coated on all sides. Cover in plastic wrap and allow to rest – in the refrigerator – for at least 30 minutes. Chicken can marinate up to 4 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Continuing to whisk, add sugar, salt, pepper and oregano. Taste and adjust salt/pepper accordingly.
  3. When chicken is done marinating, add to a grill that has been heated to medium-high heat. Grill for 2 -3 minutes on each side. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch chunks.
  4. Toss the ingredients for the salad in a large bowl. Toss with dressing and chicken chunks.
  5. Stuff each pita pocket with equal portions of salad and chicken mixture.
