Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomato
- 0.5 Red onion
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 200 grams Tzatziki sauce
- 100 grams Romaine lettuce
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven to make them pliable, about 2 minutes.
Open each pita and spread a layer of tzatziki sauce inside.
Layer the grilled chicken slices, followed by cucumber slices, tomato slices, lettuce, and onion inside each pita.
Finish by crumbling feta cheese over the fillings.
Close the pita, slice in half and serve immediately.
