Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 pieces Pita bread
  • 1 medium Cucumber
  • 2 medium Tomato
  • 0.5 Red onion
  • 100 grams Feta cheese
  • 200 grams Tzatziki sauce
  • 100 grams Romaine lettuce

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven to make them pliable, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Open each pita and spread a layer of tzatziki sauce inside.

Step 8

Layer the grilled chicken slices, followed by cucumber slices, tomato slices, lettuce, and onion inside each pita.

Step 9

Finish by crumbling feta cheese over the fillings.

Step 10

Close the pita, slice in half and serve immediately.
