Greek Chicken in Pitas with Lemon rice and Cucumber dip


Greek Chicken
Chicken
Bottle of Greek dressing (kraft is best)
Fresh Lemon juice (about the juice of one big lemon)
Pressed Garlic
Greek seasoning (cavender's all purpose greek seasoning)        
Mix it all together in a ziplock bag and marinate at least overnight.

Lemon Rice
2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
4 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 medium onion diced
4 cups chicken broth

In a large skillet, saute onions in butter till almost soft. Add rice and saute until glossy. Add salt, lemon juice, and broth. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 35 min. Add more lemon juice and salt to taste. I actually just throw all the ingredients (no sauteeing the onions) into my rice cooker and it comes out perfect everytime. Sometimes I don't have every single one of the ingredients, and it's still great.

Cucumber Dip
1 cucumber
Carton greek yougurt
2 garlic cloves pressed
lemon zest (1/2 of a lemon)
lemon juice from 1/2 of lemon
1/2 tsp (maybe a little more ) greek seasoning

Shred cucumber and mix with rest of ingredients.

You can assemble all ingredients in the pita, fold and ejoy.  Or you can put each entree onto a plate and dip the pita into everything using it as your fork.
