Ingredients

  • 1pcs red onion
  • 1pcs zucchini
  • 2pcs tomato
  • 1clove garlic
  • 2g dried oregano
  • 300g free-range chicken breast fillet
  • 4pcs souvlaki pita breads
  • 130g natural yoghurt
  • 10ml white wine vinegar
  • 3ml sugar
  • 15ml olive oil

Method

  1. Step 1 — Prep vegetables
    Very thinly slice the onion with a sharp knife or mandoline. Combine the onion, 2 tsp white wine vinegar and ½ tsp sugar in a bowl. Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally, until needed. Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise with a sharp knife or mandoline. Quarter the tomatoes. Crush or finely chop the garlic.
  2. Step 2 — Cook vegetables
    Heat a chargrill pan over high heat until hot. Put the zucchini and tomato in a bowl, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cook the zucchini and tomato, in batches, for 2 mins each side or until tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan and cover to keep warm. Reserve the pan.
  3. Step 3 — Season chicken
    Meanwhile, combine the garlic, half the dried oregano* and 2 tsp olive oil in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the chicken flat on a board, put your hand on top and halve horizontally into fillets. Add the chicken to the oil mixture and turn to coat.
  4. Step 4 — Cook chicken
    Heat the reserved chargrill pan over high heat until hot. Cook the chicken for 2-4 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and rest for 3 mins.
  5. Step 5 — Toast pita
    Reduce the heat to medium-high. Warm 2 pita*, one at a time, for 30 secs each side or until heated through. (Or, heat the pita in the microwave, if you prefer. Put 2 pita* on a plate and microwave for 30 secs or until warmed through.)
  6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
    Slice the chicken. Drain the onion, discarding the pickling liquid. Divide the pita among plates and fill with the zucchini, tomato, chicken and pickled onion. Drizzle with the yoghurt to serve.
