Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, sliced
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Pita bread or ciabatta buns
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 6

Toast the pita bread or ciabatta buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on one side of the bread. Then, add lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon, and grilled chicken strips.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired BLT!
