This Greek specialty is sure to become a new dinner or make-ahead lunch staple. The chicken is crusted with a lemony, soy-herb mixture and served in a pita with a yogurt-cucumber sauce. Feel free to add some slices of tomatoes and red onion to boost your veggie intake if you’d like. Plan to double the tangy dill-flavored sauce to serve drizzled over roasted salmon later in the week or with crunchy carrot and celery sticks for a snack. This hearty sandwich is pretty substantial on its own, but you could also round out the meal with something sweet like red grapes, orange wedges, or mixed melon.
