Greek Grilled Chicken Pitas image

This is from the Taste of Home website. It was a great recipe as written, but I add mint and Kalamata olives when I make these. So I've added them to the ingredient list because I think those two changes make the pitas even more delicious. They're pretty filling, so I don't always serve side dishes to go along with the pita...

Number Of Ingredients 19

MARINADE
1/2 c balsamic vinaigrette
1 lb skinless chicken breasts
CUCUMBER SAUCE
1 c plain greek yogurt
1/2 c finely chopped cucumber
1/4 c finely chopped red onion
1 Tbsp fresh mint or fresh parsley
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper
PITA POCKETS
8 pita pocket halves
1/2 c chopped cucumber
1/2 c kalamata olives, quartered
1/2 c grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 c chopped red onion
1/2 c crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Pour vinaigrette into a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients; chill until ready to serve.
  • 3. Preheat grill or oven broiler.
  • 4. Drain and discard marinade. Grill or broil chicken breasts until done, turning halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking on both sides, about 5 to 8 minutes each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Cut chicken into thin strips.
  • 5. Fill each pita half with chicken, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, onion and cheese. Spoon cucumber sauce on top of each pita half. Serve immediately

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these pitas with grilled tofu instead of chicken. They were still delicious!

These chicken pitas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made them with some roasted chicken I had in the fridge, and they turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I loved these pitas! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was delicious.

The chicken pitas were delicious! I used a store-bought tzatziki sauce, but I will definitely try making my own next time.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. The chicken marinates while you're prepping the other ingredients, so it's a great weeknight meal.
