Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 4 pieces Pita breads
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the chicken on the preheated grill pan for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then slice thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Thinly slice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften them.
To assemble, layer each pita with a lettuce leaf, a few slices of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and sliced chicken.
Drizzle the prepared yogurt dressing over the fillings, then fold or wrap the pita around the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Cucumber Chicken Pitas!
