Directions: In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinaigrette, juice from 1/2 lemon, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place chicken in a
large re-sealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat an outdoor grill for
high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and place on prepared grill. Discard remaining marinade. Cook chicken until juices
run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from heat, and allow to rest about 10 minutes before slicing into thin
strips. Place pita rounds on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes, until warm, turning frequently to avoid burning. Arrange
warmed pita, sliced chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, olives, and pepperoncini on a serving platter. Serve tzatziki sauce (cucumber
sauce) and feta cheese in separate bowls on the side. Stuff pita pockets with chicken and toppings to serve.
Directions: Preheat a grill for medium heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate. Place the coconut milk and cinnamon sugar into
separate dishes. Dip slices of pineapple into coconut milk, then coat in cinnamon sugar. Grill slices for 6 minutes on each
side. Remove to plates, and serve. Add toasted coconut for additional flavor.
