  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh cucumber, sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
  2. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  3. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  4. Warm the pita breads. Spread a spoonful of feta tzatziki sauce on each, then add sliced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Wrap or fold the pita to serve.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken longer or overnight.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best taste, especially cucumbers and herbs.
  • Customize the toppings with additional vegetables or olives as desired.
