Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce onto each pita. Add slices of grilled chicken, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.
Fold or wrap the pita around the filling and serve the sandwiches immediately. Optionally, secure with parchment paper or a toothpick for easier handling.
