Ingredients
- 2 pieces skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces low carb pita bread
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken marinade. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and dice the cucumber. Set these aside with the mixed salad greens.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 7
Warm the low carb pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until they are slightly charred and pliable.
Step 8
Assemble the pita by spreading a layer of tzatziki sauce over each piece of pita bread.
Step 9
Add a generous handful of mixed salad greens, a scattering of cherry tomatoes, and cucumber to each pita.
Step 10
Top with sliced grilled chicken and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Step 11
Fold or wrap the pita as desired and serve immediately.
