Ingredients
Method
Marination
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking Chicken
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and grill marks are visible. Let rest, then slice into strips.
Making Tzatziki
- In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt to create the tzatziki.
Roasting Bell Peppers
- If you need roasted bell peppers, slice fresh ones, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Assembling Pitas
- Spread a generous layer of feta tzatziki on one side of warm pita bread. Layer in sliced chicken and roasted bell peppers. Add fresh herbs if desired.
Serving
- Cut stuffed pitas in half, plate, and enjoy the flavor explosion!
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances the flavor. Choose a fluffy pita to hold the fillings well. This dish is both healthy and satisfying.
