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.
ā¢ Chicken can be grilled 1 day ahead. Cool completely before being chilled, covered.
ā¢ Alternatively, pitas can be broiled, 3 to 4 inches from heat.
