Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 English cucumber, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 4 pita bread
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, make the tzatziki sauce. Squeeze any excess liquid out of the grated cucumber using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

Lightly warm the pita bread on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.

Step 7

Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

Step 8

Assemble the pitas by layering shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and grilled chicken strips. Top with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

Step 9

Fold the pita in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Greek Style Chicken Pitas!
