Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.

Step 5

To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce onto each pita. Add slices of grilled chicken, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.

Step 6

Fold or wrap the pita around the filling and serve the sandwiches immediately. Optionally, secure with parchment paper or a toothpick for easier handling.
