Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the bowl and coat it evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the rested grilled chicken into thin strips.
Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute per side, until soft and pliable.
Assemble the pitas by placing a lettuce leaf on each pita, adding sliced tomato, cucumber, and grilled chicken strips.
Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, fold, and serve immediately.
