1/4
cup olive or vegetable oil
1/4
cup lemon juice
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4
teaspoon garlic powder
1/8
teaspoon black pepper
2
boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
2
large rounds pita bread
1
small onion, thinly sliced
1
tomato, thinly sliced
1/2
cup plain yogurt
Parsley (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder and pepper in medium glass bowl.
2.
Add chicken to oil mixture; toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
3.
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. Thread chicken onto 4 small metal skewers.
4.
Place kabobs on greased broiler pan. Broil about 5 inches from heat until chicken is golden, 8 to 10 minutes; brushing frequently with marinade. Turn kabobs over and brush with marinade. Broil until chicken is done, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
