Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In the meantime, prepare the Tzatziki Sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Warm the pita bread rounds in a toaster or on a grill pan for a minute on each side.
- To assemble the Greek Chicken Pita, spread a generous amount of Tzatziki Sauce on each pita bread round. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
- Fold the pita bread in half and serve immediately as a delicious and satisfying lunch option.
Service Suggestion
- Serve with a side of Greek salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
- Pair with a glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
Notes
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the assembled pita for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese.
