Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 7

Cut the pita breads in half and gently open to create pockets.

Step 8

Stuff each pita pocket with a mix of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, chicken strips, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the yogurt dressing inside the pitas or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 10
