What You Need
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, oregano, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper and sauté for about 3 min or until softened and starting to brown. Add chicken and sauté for about 5 min or until lightly browned.
Whisk flour into Milk and whisk into skillet; stir in lemon zest. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 min or until sauce is thickened and chicken is no longer pink inside. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, toast or heat pitas. In a bowl, combine cucumber and yogourt. Spoon chicken and sauce on top of pitas, dollop with cucumber yogourt and sprinkle with tomatoes.
Tips
Use the fine side of a cheese grater or a microplane-style grater to grate the lemon zest.
For the Adventurous: Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) tahini to sauce with lemon zest and garnish with 1/4 cup (60 mL) crumbled Canadian feta cheese and black olives.
