Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 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 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Pita bread or ciabatta buns
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Toast the pita bread or ciabatta buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on one side of the bread. Then, add lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon, and grilled chicken strips.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired BLT!
