Chicken Souvlaki on Pita

GREEK FOOD, GOTTA LOVE IT!

This dish has all the flavors that I like when it comes to eating Greek food, it is fresh and light but leaves you satisfied. It can be eated as a sandwich but if you are watching your carbs skip the pita bread and eat it as a salad. It was a total hit with my family, My son enjoyed it so much he said it should be on the menu every week!
