Ingredients

• 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.25 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and rub the marinade all over to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Cook the chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, prepare the Greek salad by combining the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil to create a creamy yogurt sauce.

Step 7

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

Step 8

Slice the rested chicken thighs into strips.

Step 9

Serve the chicken with the Greek salad on the side, a dollop of yogurt sauce, and warm pita bread. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
