Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Pita pockets
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Cook the chicken on the skillet, flipping once, until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside (about 5-6 minutes per side). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill to prepare the yogurt dressing. Stir well and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently.
Step 6
Warm the pita pockets slightly by toasting them in the oven or a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Step 7
To assemble, carefully open the pita pockets and layer each with shredded romaine lettuce, a generous spoonful of the cucumber-tomato mixture, sliced chicken, and a drizzle of yogurt dressing.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of your Chickety Chick Pita Pockets!
