# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Fold up the pita with all the good stuff tucked inside. Eat it while it’s still hot—don’t wait.
02 -
Pile on or drizzle loads of that cool tzatziki all over everything.
03 -
Lay your warm pita out, stack your sliced chicken in the middle, then add diced tomatoes, onion, cucumber, crumbled feta, and parsley right on top.
04 -
Toss the pita into a warm pan or heat them up in the oven wrapped in foil for a couple minutes till they’re flexible.
05 -
Throw the chicken in a hot skillet or on a grill pan. Let it go for about 4 or 5 minutes per side till it’s browned and cooked inside. Take it off and let it chill for a few, then hack it into strips.
06 -
Dump yogurt, shredded cucumber, smashed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs into a small bowl. Stir it all up and hit it with some salt and pepper. Stick it in the fridge so it gets nice and tasty.
07 -
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper really well in a bowl. Toss in the chicken slices and swirl everything so it’s coated. Pop a cover on and let it chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes, longer if you want lots of flavor.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Want it a bit different? Use fresh mint instead of dill in the tzatziki for a fresh twist.
02 -
This goes awesome with roasted spuds or a Greek-style salad.
