This is very good.

CHICKEN GYROS WITH YOGURT-DILL SAUCE

The chicken is cooked with onions, lemon and dill, then spooned onto warm pita bread rounds and topped with a yogurt sauce. Then the sides of the bread are folded up and the sandwich is eaten like a taco.

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 medium onions, thinly sliced

4 pita bread rounds, heated

Stir yogurt, 2 tablespoons dill, garlic and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

Place chicken in medium bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, 1 teaspoon dill and salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate. (I covered it with foil to keep warm).

Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add onions; sauté until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. (I cooked the onions longer, until caramelized). Return chicken and any juices to skillet. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. (*I suggest quickly mixing in the chicken, for several seconds only; then remove from the heat, so that the chicken doesn't start to cook again and dry out).

Arrange pita rounds on plates. Top pita rounds with chicken mixture. Spoon some yogurt sauce over chicken. Serve, passing extra sauce separately.

Serves 4.
