Chicken Souvlaki Sub

I was looking for something to buy at my pizzeria and I decided a sub was the way to go. I ended up with a cheese burger sub which was delicious, but I did notice they offered a Chicken Souvlaki Sub. I thought how easy that would be to replicate. I made it and it was absolutely delicious.  This recipe is meant to have leftovers for a salad the next day. You will definitely have leftover items and this assures it’s used up.

Chicken Souvlaki Sub

4 chicken breast

lettuce

onion

black olives

tomato

cucumber

Feta cheese

greek salad dressing, I use Ken’s

Tzatziki Sauce, this is sold at Wegmans in specialty cheese section

Directions

One hour before you plan to cook, cut the fat from the chicken breast and cut them each into three long pieces.

Place the chicken in a bowl and add 1/2 cup Greek dressing.  Mix well to coat and cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge.

When ready to cook prepare all your food.  Cut lettuce in strips, slice onion, tomato, cucumber, and set aside.

grill your chicken outside or in a grill pan on your stove top.  Cook until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees

Grill the sub rolls as well a few minutes before the chicken is done

when food is cooked and roll is toasted place the sub roll on plate spread Tzatziki sauce over top and bottom of roll and add chicken to the bottom  now add your sliced veggies  and pour a bit of Greek dressing on the veggies in the sub.

check back next week to see how to use up the left over chicken and veggies.
Enjoy!!
