Chicken Souvlaki

This is a great summer recipe and super simple. A friend of mine made this for me a few summers ago and I've been making it ever since. I buy the rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods when they are marked down to $5.99 on Tuesdays. I was also able to use fresh dill from our garden this year which was fun. (: Enjoy!

Chicken Souvlaki

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
kosher salt and pepper
1 2 1/2- to 3-pound rotisserie chicken, meat sliced
1 large english cucumber, sliced into thin half-moons
1/2 small sweet onion (such as Vidalia), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
4 flat breads or wheat pitas
1/2 cup plain yogurt, preferably Greek-style

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Fold in the chicken, cucumbers, onion, and dill.
Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the flat breads and serve with the yogurt.
