From the Test Kitchen

Souvlaki is a Greek specialty of grilled meat, usually served on skewers. Here, we’re sautéing chicken and seasoning it with fresh oregano and lemon, then serving it in pitas with heirloom tomato (yours may be red, yellow, or green) and yogurt-dressed cucumber. Our side of crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside roasted potatoes gets the same aromatic lift from more oregano and lemon, plus a bit of garlic.

Prepare & roast the potatoes:
1 Prepare & roast the potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 475ºF. Wash and dry the potatoes; cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide wedges. Place on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer, skin side down. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer to a medium bowl.

Prepare the remaining ingredients:
2 Prepare the remaining ingredients:

While the potatoes roast, wash and dry the remaining fresh produce. Peel the cucumber, leaving alternating strips of skin intact; halve lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Thinly slice the cucumber crosswise; place in a medium bowl. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel and finely chop the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester). Pick the oregano leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Core and medium dice the tomato. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Using the flat side of your knife, smash the olives; remove and discard the pits, then roughly chop.

6 Warm the pitas & serve your dish:

While the chicken continues to cook, stack the pitas on a large piece of aluminum foil; tightly wrap the foil around the pitas. Carefully place directly onto the oven rack; warm 5 to 6 minutes, or until heated through and pliable. Remove from the oven. Carefully unwrap and transfer to a work surface. Divide the cooked chicken, dressed cucumber, seasoned tomato, and olives among the warmed pitas. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the remaining oregano. Divide the finished pitas and finished potatoes among 4 dishes. Enjoy!
