Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 6 pieces Pita bread
- 0.75 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sliced red onions
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts into the crock pot and pour the lemon-olive oil mixture over the chicken.
Add the chicken broth to the crock pot, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook the chicken on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks directly in the crock pot or transfer it to a cutting board for shredding. Mix the shredded chicken with the juices in the crock pot to keep it moist and flavorful.
Warm the pita bread in the oven, microwave, or stovetop.
Assemble the pita pockets by spreading a spoonful of tzatziki sauce inside each pita, then stuffing them with shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced red onions, and crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Chicken Pita Pockets!
