  • Boneless skinless chicken tenders1 1/2 lb
  • Plain pita breads made without milk, egg, soy or sesame4

How dinner comes together

  1. Whisk the zest and juice of one lemon with the grated garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.

  2. Toss half the lemon dressing with the chicken while you quarter the cucumber, halve the tomatoes and chop the romaine.

  3. Whisk the remaining dressing with the vinegar and remaining oil. Toss it with the cucumber, tomatoes, romaine and olives.

  4. Heat the skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken in one layer until browned and the thickest tender reaches 165°F, 4–5 minutes per side.

  5. Warm the pitas in the dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, then cut each into quarters. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.

  6. Arrange the chicken, salad, warm pita and lemon wedges in separate piles so everyone can build a plate or pita pocket.
