  • 1 seedless cucumber, divided
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz feta cheese (about 1 cup), crumbled, divided

Steps
  1. Dice tomatoes and slice olives crosswise. Thinly slice onion crosswise into rings. Combine tomatoes, olives, onion and garlic in Deep Covered Baker; mix well.
  2. Season chicken with 2 tbsp rub and salt. Arrange chicken over tomato mixture in baker, overlapping as necessary. Microwave, covered, on high 12 to 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165° in thickest part of chicken. Carefully remove baker from microwave. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove chicken from baker to cutting board; dice chicken. Return chicken to baker; add parsley and mix well.
  4. Meanwhile, cut cucumber in half crosswise. Grate one cucumber half using a coarse grater to measure ½ cup; pat dry. Dice remaining cucumber half; set aside.
  5. Combine grated cucumber, yogurt, ½ cup of the feta and remaining 2 tsp rub in a small bowl; mix well.
  6. Heat grill pan over medium heat 5 minutes. Spray one side of pitas with vegetable oil. Place one pita into pan, oil side down. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until grill marks appear; set aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pitas.
  7. Spread yogurt mixture over grilled pitas; top with chicken mixture, remaining feta and diced cucumber.
