Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4-6 large pita breads, warmed
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese, sliced pepperoncini

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
  4. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and nicely charred.
  5. Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice into thin strips.
  6. Warm the pita breads. To assemble, spread tzatziki down the center of a pita.
  7. Layer with sliced chicken, diced tomato, red onion, and shredded lettuce. Add feta and pepperoncini if using.
  8. Fold the bottom of the pita up, then fold the sides over to create a wrapped package. Serve immediately.

Notes

Letting the chicken rest before slicing is crucial for juiciness. Chicken breasts can be used; adjust cooking time to avoid dryness. For meal prep, store components separately. The marinated chicken freezes well for up to 3 months.
