GREEK CHICKEN & CUCUMBER PITA SANDWICHES WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tsp. oil, oregano, 2 tsp. garlic, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, toss grated cucumber with 1/4 tsp. salt in a fine-mesh sieve. Let drain for 15 minutes, then squeeze to release more liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in yogurt, mint, dill, ground pepper, and the remaining 2 tsp. oil, 3/4 tsp. garlic, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, spread some of the sauce inside each pita half. Tuck in the chicken, lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

CHICKEN-CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the mayo until well blended (I use a whisk).
• With a wooden spoon, stir in the chicken and the next 7 ingredients.
• Cover and chill the filling for 4-24 hours.
• When ready to prepare the sandwiches after the 4-24 hour chilling time cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
• Using cookie cutters, or assorted metal shaped cutters (medium-size round biscuit cutters work great too), cut the bread slices into desired shapes.
• Spread half of the bread shapes with the chicken mixture, and top with the matching shape.
• Roll the sandwich edges in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Slice cucumber, leaving peel on.
• Spread butter on insides of both slices of bread for each sandwich, to taste. Usually a thin layer will suffice.
• Place cucumber slices in a single layer on bottom slice of buttered bread for each sandwich, covering entire slice.
• Put sandwiches together and remove crusts with knife. Some cucumber peel will come off too and that is the desired result.
• Cut sandwiches into triangles.

TWO-INGREDIENT DOUGH TERIYAKI CHICKEN FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Mix flour and yogurt in a bowl; dough will be crumbly. Transfer dough to a lightly-floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes, adding more flour if too sticky. Cut dough in half and form into balls.
• Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand, stretching and pulling until it is 1/4 inch thick (very thin). You also can roll out the dough with a rolling pin if that's easier for you. Shape the dough into two long ovals.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, prick using the tines of a fork, and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove and leave the oven on.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onion slices, and cook for 3 minutes.
• Spread the crusts with the teriyaki sauce leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the edges. Top with the chicken, onions, and mozzarella cheese.
• Return to the oven and bake until the crusts and toppings are browned to your liking, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and garnish with cilantro. Slice and serve immediately.
