Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
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.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill to prepare the yogurt dressing. Stir well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently.
Warm the pita pockets slightly by toasting them in the oven or a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of your Chickety Chick Pita Pockets!
