Greek Seasoning Blend: All Recipes-Misty Jane Pilgrim
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, pounded to ½ inch thickness
1 tablespoon mediterranean/greek seasoning (you can substitute Italian seasoning in a pinch)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
4 pitas (this is a Greek-style flatbread you can find at almost any grocery store near the bread and tortillas or in the bakery)
optional: lettuce, feta cheese crumbles
Seasoning:
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoons dried Greek oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Tzatziki Sauce:
½ English cucumber, peeled and diced
2 cups cold plain Greek yogurt
4 teaspoons minced garlic
⅓ cup chopped dill, fresh or frozen (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill)
1½ Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of ½ medium lemon)
½ tsp salt, or to taste
⅛ tsp black pepper
Directions:
Puree all Tzatziki Sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor making sure to get as much moisture out of the diced cucumber as possible (use a paper towel to blot it out). Cover and chill until ready to serve. Making this the night before is ideal as it gives the flavors time to marinate.
Season chicken breasts with mediterranean/greek seasoning on both sides. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Cut into strips.
Lay pitas on a clean surface. Add lettuce (if desired, chicken, red pepper strips, and onions. Top with tzatziki sauce. Fold pita in half or roll it into a burrito shape.
