Chicken Marinade
Pita Filling
Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- 2
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grilling the Chicken
- 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 5
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assembling the Pita
- 6
While the chicken is resting, prepare your pita bread. Warm the pita in the grill or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
- 7
Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus inside each pita.
- 8
Layer in the sliced grilled chicken, diced tomato, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and a few spoonfuls of tzatziki sauce.
- 9
Top with pickled onions and any additional toppings you desire.
- 10
Fold the pita in half and serve immediately while warm.
