Author: 
Recipe type: Main Dish
 
Ingredients
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • For Marinade:
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ⅛ cup diced onions
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • dash of salt and pepper
  • 1 pack pita bread (not the kind with pockets)
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced cucumbers
  • Shredded lettuce
  • For Tzatziki Sauce:
  • 2 (8 oz.) containers of plain yogurt
  • 1 regular cucumbers, peeled & seeded
  • 1½ cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill ( I omitted and it still tasted fine)
  • dash of salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Place chicken in a ziploc bag.
  2. Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over chicken. Marinade for at least one hour. (The longer the better.)
  3. While chicken is marinading make your tzatziki sauce. Simply mix all ingredients from above together. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to skillet and turn on medium heat. While skillet is heating up slice chicken breasts into strips. ( I did this to cut down on the cooking time.)
  5. Cook chicken in skillet until cooked through. Probably about 6 -8 minutes.
  6. While chicken is cooking heat your pita bread up. I simply put mine in a frying pan for one minute on each side. If you have gas burners you could put write over a low flame.
  7. To assemble, spread generous amount of tzatziki sauce on pita. Add chicken slices and top with tomato, cucumbers, and lettuce.
  8. Serve hot with fries and sliced cucumbers.
