Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small Cucumber, finely grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 pieces Pita bread
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, half of the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to make the tzatziki sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
In a separate bowl, create the chicken marinade by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, paprika, remaining minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. Add the chicken to the marinade and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until soft and pliable.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading tzatziki sauce inside each pita. Add lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Chicken Sandwiches!
