We found that half a chicken breast (about 1/3 lb) per person was plenty when served with the rest of this menu, but you could increase the portion to a whole breast per person.

Preparation Prepare grill for cooking. Lightly oil pitas on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Grill pitas, in batches if necessary, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to cooling racks. Pat chicken dry and brush with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper and grill until just cooked through, about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut into slices. Fill pitas with chicken, and if desired, salads from rest of menu. Cooks' notes:• Chicken can be grilled 1 day ahead. Cool completely before being chilled, covered. • Alternatively, pitas can be broiled, 3 to 4 inches from heat.
