Mediterranean Chicken Sandwiches

I like to have this chicken mixture on hand in the fridge to throw a sandwich together for a quick lunch.  If you don’t have dried mint, dried basil works well as a substitute.

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced

1/2 cup sweet onion, diced

3/4 cup cucumber, seeded and diced

2 Tablespoons cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried mint flakes

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 Whole Wheat Pita Bread

6 lettuce leaves

Cut chicken into one inch pieces.  In a nonstick skillet, cook for 5 minutes or until no longer pink.  Remove from skillet; cool.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, cucumber and onion.  Drizzle with vinegar and oil.  Add spices and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.  

Cut pita bread into halves.  Line halves with lettuce and fill with chicken mixture using slotted spoon.
