One of my favorite restaurants here in San Antonio is Pasha's. Their Na'an bread is to die for. Seriously, I could eat it all day, which could be good or bad since they keep on servin' it! I searched for a recipe and made it for New Year's Eve but it fell way short of my expectations.
So, I was strolling along the bread aisle at Costco a few weeks ago when a nice big package of Na'an caught my eye. I wasn't sure if this pre-packaged stuff could meet my expectations, but I thought I'd give it a try.
Um. Yum.
So, I found a greek recipe for chicken, bought some feta, and made up a slew of my favorite hummus for a dinner that got 12 thumbs up. (There are six people in my family. Yeah, they all loved it.)
Hummus
2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 - 1/2 cup tahini (found at HEB near the peanut butter, or a whole foods store)
1/4 - 1/2 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
Combine all ingredients except 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika and parsely in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Place in a serving bowl and drizzle remaining olive oil over top. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Marinated Greek Chicken
1 8 oz. container fat-free plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 container crumbled feta cheese with basil and sundried tomatoes (or plain)
Mix first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken, turn to coat, cover and marinate for three hours in the refrigerator. Now, here's where you can experiment. We don't have a grill so I placed my chicken on a broiling pan and broiled until the juices ran clear. You could place the chicken on a skewer and grill over and outdoor greill on high heat.
Prepare Na'an according to package directions. (If you make your own, serve them warm - and then post the recipe so we can all enjoy it!) Place desired amount of hummus, chicken, and crumbled feta cheese on Na'an. Wrap and enjoy.
