INGREDIENTS
| 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 |

PREPARATION:
- Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder and pepper in medium glass bowl.
- Add chicken to oil mixture; toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. Thread chicken onto 4 small metal skewers.
- 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.
- Cut each pita bread in half; gently pull each half open to form a pocket. Remove chicken from 1 kabob and place inside each pocket; top with onion, tomato and yogurt. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
