Chicken Schawarma (a variation of) Easy ($11 per family)

Ingredients:
2-4 chicken breasts (2+ lbs per family for FC) pounded to 1/4 inch thickness

Marinade:
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp curry
1/2 tsp cumin
salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Yogurt Sauce:
plain Greek yogurt
1 Tblsp dill
1-2 Tblsp fresh minced garlic (only used 1 for FC)
squeeze of lemon

4-6 pieces of Naan or pita bread

Directions:
Marinade chicken all day or over night.  Grill chicken.  Allow to cool and cut in thin slices.  Assemble chicken on naan or pita and top with yogurt sauce.

Additional Toppings: grilled veggies, sliced cucumbers
Side dish:  quinoa

Freezer Club Instructions:
Allow chicken to thaw completely and sit in marinade at least 5 hrs.  Pound chicken to 1/4 inch thickness.  Grill.  Slice chicken thin and assemble on pita.  Top with yogurt sauce and your choice of grilled veggies or cucumber slices.

**The yogurt sauce is very bland as I only used 1 Tblsp of garlic.  The actual recipe calls for 2 Tbls. so you may want to add some.  I was concerned about it being too strong for the kids.
