Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 3

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

Step 4

Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5

Warm the whole wheat pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly toasted, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing sliced grilled chicken on each pita. Top with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 7

Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the toppings and fold the pita to form a taco shape.

Step 8

Serve the Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos immediately and enjoy!
