Sort of Greek

On Sunday I made my own attempt at Greek food.  I butterflied a chicken and marinated it in lemon juice, olive oil, and a lot of thyme and marjoram (the store was out of oregano), and grilled it skin side down.  I also grilled teeny tiny asparagus spears and spring onion that I had tossed in olive oil and more of the marjoram and thyme.  My big experiment was grilled pita bread.  I was disappointed that it didn't puff up, but you can see above that it turned out pretty.    Below is the finished chicken.
Below are the finished products, with some tzatziki, made with lots of mint and 2% Greek yogurt.  Yum.  The bread was really soft and I used mine to make little wraps with the chicken--it would make delicious gyros.
