Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 2 pieces Grilled chicken breast
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. Set aside.
Slice the grilled chicken breast into thin strips.
Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese into the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill. Mix well to form a simple yogurt sauce.
To assemble, slice open a warm pita bread to form a pocket (do not cut all the way through). Spread 1-2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce inside each pita.
Layer the sliced chicken and the vegetable mixture inside the pita pocket. Add an extra drizzle of yogurt sauce on top, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ontario Easy Pita!
