Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pita bread
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced cucumbers
- Red onion, sliced
- Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber (grated and drained)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for tzatziki)
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- Salt to taste (for tzatziki)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken slices and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle.
- Prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a separate bowl.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve tzatziki on the side to prevent the pita from getting soggy.
