Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces keto-friendly pita pockets
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup black olives, sliced
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a sealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing them thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slicing the red onion.
Lightly toast the keto-friendly pita pockets in a pan or toaster.
Stuff each pita pocket with a generous portion of sliced grilled chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and black olives.
Drizzle with tzatziki sauce before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Mediterranean Chicken Pita Sandwich!
