Grilled Chicken Pitas

I thought I might change things up a bit and share one of my favorite recipes by Paula Deen. I’ve been a fan of hers before I started this blog. A food blogger would not be a food blogger if they did not love food and good cooking , Would they?  Do you have a favorite recipe by Paula Deen?

Ingredients
* 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
* 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
* 3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
* 2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
* 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (1/4 pound)
* 1/4 cup olive oil

For the yogurt sauce:
* 8 ounces (1 cup) unflavored yogurt
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
* 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:
Olive oil cooking spray
1 large Vidalia or purple onion, cut into thin rings

6 pita breads

1/2 head romaine lettuce, finely chopped
1 (10.6-ounce) jar kalamata olives, drained, halved, and pitted, or other black olives
12 slices bacon, fried crisp
* Alfalfa sprouts
* Salt
* Freshly ground black pepper

Rinse the chicken breast and pat dry. Combine 3 tablespoons lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon of the oregano in a glass dish. Add the chicken, turn to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the chicken breast to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Combine the tomatoes and feta cheese in a small glass dish. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the olive oil, and the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano, and stir to combine. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

For the yogurt sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, walnuts, and olive oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Spray a grill basket with olive oil. Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink in the thickest portion of each breast. Spread the onion rings over the surface of the basket and grill while the chicken is cooking. Turn the basket frequently. The onion rings will blacken as they cook; this will also take 8 to 10 minutes. When the chicken and onion rings are cooked, place the pita breads on the grill for about 2 minutes per side, until grill marks show. Slice the chicken into very thin pieces.
At serving time, put out all of the ingredients and allow each person to assemble sandwiches: Split each pita. Place several slices of grilled chicken, 3 or 4 slivers of onion, a tablespoon of tomato-feta mixture, lettuce, olives, and 1 or 2 slices of bacon into each pita. Top with yogurt sauce and a wad of alfalfa sprouts. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Fold up the sides of the pita and enjoy!

Adgitize Does Pay You Back

Hello to all my readers,

I’ve had a lot of people ask me if Adgitize is for real and do you actually earn money. The answer to that question is YES! I’ve advertised on Adgitize for a couple months and I’ve got my money back already. I have to admit the first month I was a slacker when it came to clicking through the ads to get my points, but then I decided to do an experiment and make time to click through the ads for a month and it came back to me with Good Old Fashion Cash.

I would have given you a screen shot, but I could not get it to work so this is as good as it gets. If someone can put me in the correct direction on how to do a screenshot with paypal and get windows XP to behave it self I would be thrilled, not that I can guarantee that I’ll figure the darn thing out. LOL

So here it is, I earned $29.15 which means the 2 months of ads has came back to me. The great thing is it did bring me some traffic and the guy that owns Adgitize is easy to deal with and listens to his bloggers and takes our input seriously as I’ve seen in the sites blog and formn. You don’t have to advertise to participate,but your cash ads when you do advertise. I click through the ads and advertise.
