Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the chicken on a foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle all over with the spices, and then top with the garlic, butter, and olive oil. Bake for twenty minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove from the oven and let it sit for ten minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, make the Pickled Beets and Cucumber Yogurt Spread. For the Pickled Beets, combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • For the Cucumber Yogurt Spread: Place the cucumber in a clean dish towel , and squeeze out all the liquid. Place the cucumber in the bowl with all the other ingredients, and stir them together.
  • Spread the Cucumber-Yogurt Spread in the pitas or on top of the flatbreads. Then, stuff the pitas with the chicken and the beets and serve. Or, pile everything on top of the pitas, and fold them in half to eat.
