Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, red onion

Instructions
 

  • To create your Greek chicken pita pockets, start by marinating the chicken thighs in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices for at least four hours. This enhances flavor and tenderness.
  • Next, grill the marinated chicken for about 5 minutes on each side at 450°F until it reaches 165°F, ensuring juicy grilled chicken.
  • While it cooks, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing grated cucumber (squeezed dry), Greek yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt—let it chill. Warm the pita bread in the oven or on a skillet, then spread the tzatziki inside.
  • Load it up with the grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and finish with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Enjoy this easy-to-make Greek chicken pita!
