So earlier this week I was flipping through a Rachael.Ray cook book looking for inspiration. I landed on this recipe (which also appears on the FN website).

My husband loves Mediterranean food, and I knew the spices in the recipe would appeal to him. I have a killer yogurt sauce recipe (taken from this RR recipe) so I decided to whip up some of that and serve it with this chicken recipe. I am not a fan of normal pita bread that you get at the grocery store, and I'm always on the lookout for something similar to what the man at the falafel restaurant serves--something thick, chewy and soft. Imagine my surprise when I found Hungry Girl Flat Out bread. Soft, chewy the way I want a pita to be, and only 100 calories each with 16 net carbs. We piled the spiced chicken in the pita, spooned some of the (very hot!) tomato salad over it. Topped with the cool greek yogurt dip, it was incredibly good! It was so good in fact, that I made more for lunch today. :) I skipped the pita since I knew that I would be having a substantial amount of carbs at dinner tonight, and I just had the chicken, tomatoes, and yogurt sauce. It was heavenly. Spicy, but so, so good.
If you like Mediterranean food, give this a try! I love that blend of spices. I will keep the Israeli spice rub on hand for sure--it is probably good on pork, too. Since this a 30 Minute Meal, I can honestly say after making the chicken and yogurt dip twice, it is under 30 minutes to make. Butterflying the chicken breasts like RR recommends makes the cook time extremely fast. The spices really sear when you cook the chicken in a very hot pan, and I love that.
[ I didn't make the zuchinni salad listed with the recipe, but maybe I will next time. :) ]
This is definitely a keepr for the Marshall family. :)
