CHICKEN SOUVLAKI PITAS

These chicken souvlaki pitas are a favorite at our house, especially in summer. With just a few ingredients and a grill, we can enjoy a gourmet-style Greek dinner that's a snap to put together. Of course, a simple Greek salad on the side is a nice addition. - Becky A. Drees, Pittsfield, Massachusetts

PITA STUFFED SOUVLAKI

If you are like me, sometimes there is to much of a good thing and that leaves leftovers. I made CountryLady's Recipe #110939 and there was about 6 ounces left. What to with it? Stuffed Pita's of course. This is an quick fix for leftover Souvlaki. Of course you will also need leftover tzatziki! For a quick weeknight meal for two, serve with a large Greek salad.
