I have been making a lot of greek food lately, and was looking for a hot sandwich filling I could use. I found this on another site, and it looks very tasty. I haven't tried it yet, but putting it on zaar for safe-keeping.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 chopped onion
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 cup yogurt
4 pita breads

Directions

1
Place chicken in greased crock pot.
2
Top the chicken with onions, lemon pepper and oregano.
3
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
4
10 minutes before serving, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.
5
It should just fall apart.
6
Put the shredded meat back into the pot.
7
Stir in the yogurt.
8
To make the sandwich, split open your pita bread and spoon the chicken inside.
9
This would be wonderful with some sliced tomatoes and cucumbers and some hummus on the side.
10
Enjoy!

This is a great way to cook the chicken, but you will h ave to add some type of sauce to the pitas for tastiness. I did enjoy how easy it was to put together.

I also prepared this without adding the yogurt. I used Huskergirl's tzatziki recipe - http://www.recipezaar.com/Tsatsiki-Gyro-Sauce-307493 - (5stars)and served on pitas with tomato and red onion. Even though I added extra greek seasoning and and sprinkled the chicken with garlic salt it was a little bland. I probably won't make it again.

Very tender and flavorful chicken. What a great dish for a refreshing cool lunch. I pre-made the chicken in the crockpot and refrigerated it. The following day I added plain yogurt and some feta cheese and shredded and mixed everything up. Next I smeared some hummus on a 1/2 of a pita and filled with the chicken mixture and garnished with some cucumber. I like the subtle flavors and the simple preperation. Also this is a great dish when you do not want to heat up the kitchen and crave something refreshing on a warm day. Thanks for posting.

I made this to go with pita bread, tomatoes and cucumbers and it was SO GOOD! A very quick and easy meal that the DH still raves about weeks later. He keeps "subtly" mentioning that he really liked "that greek chicken" and so I am making it Sunday to go with a little hummus and tzatziki. Yum!
