Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the whole wheat pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly toasted, then remove from heat.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced grilled chicken on each pita. Top with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the toppings and fold the pita to form a taco shape.
Serve the Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos immediately and enjoy!
