Mint grilled chicken with Pita Bread

Yesterday, I asked my li'l girl what she wants to have for dinner. She said "Woti"...i.e Roti, for some reason she can't pronounce "R" properly. So we went shopping to get her favourite Woti...the middle eastern bread which is found only in (atleast I found this oply at this place) Trader Joe's. But the store was out of those rotis so instead we got little Pita bread or the pocket bread. To go with it I made all the fixings for a mediterranean lunch
                 I made the most suculent and flavourful grilled chicken and the mediterranean salsa or salad but unfortunately I didn't have cucumber so I didn't add this very important ingredient to it. So here are the recipes. I hope you will enjoy them as much as my whole family did

Mint Grilled Chicken (Chicken marinated in mint and grilled)

Mint Grilled chicken

Ingredients:

1. 1 package or about 1-11/2 lb chicken thigh meat boneless skinless (or chicken breast , whatever you prefer)
2. 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
3. fresh Juice from 1/2 lemon
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt, fresh ground pepper
5. 1 tablespoon olive oil
6. 2 cloves of garlic

Grind the mint leaves along with garlic and all the other ingredients into fine paste. Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces and mix the marinade into chicken and set aside atleast an hour (I did it over night)
Heat an indoor or outdoor grill and grill the pieces till you have a nice brown crust and the chicken gets cooked through. Serve with pita bread, grilled onions, fet cheese and mediterranean salad

Mediterranean salad (Simple salad with fresh veggies)

Mediterranean salad

Ingredients:

1. 1 cucumber peeled and cubed
2. 1 medium small red onion chopped
3. 1 tomato chopped into the same size as cucumber and onion
4. Fresh juice from 1/2 lemon
5. 1/4-1/3 teaspoon salt
6. 1/4 teaspoon pepper
7. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8. 3-4 green onions chopped (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together and set aside for 15 minutes. Serve with chicken and pita

I served the above two with pita bread, grilled white and red onions and grilled green onions and lemon wedges. Delicious and healthy lunch/dinner
