Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 4 pieces pita bread
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into thin strips.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently and set aside.
Step 5
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown.
Step 6
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds to make it pliable.
Step 7
To assemble, spread a thin layer of tzatziki sauce inside each pita bread. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken.
Step 8
Top with the cucumber-tomato-feta mixture and an extra dollop of tzatziki sauce, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Mediterranean pita bread filling!
