A flavorful homage to classic Mediterranean street food, featuring marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, creamy tzatziki, and warm pita bread.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 pieces pita bread, warmed
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, shredded and excess moisture squeezed out
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken strips in this mixture until well coated and let marinate for 15 minutes.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips in a single layer and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly charred.

4. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onion. Lightly season with a pinch of salt.

5. Place a warm pita bread at the bottom of each serving bowl. Top with cooked chicken, the fresh vegetable mixture, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.

6. Finish with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley if desired, then serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken longer if time allows.

Customize your bowl with additional toppings such as olives or roasted red peppers.

This dish stores well in the refrigerator and is great for meal prep.
