Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breast and coat well with the mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop the lettuce and tomato. Slice the tomato into rounds.

4

Assemble the Pita

Warm the pita bread slightly in the oven or on a skillet. Slice each pita in half to create a pocket. Fill each pita with a handful of lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and the sliced chicken. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

5

Serve

Serve the chicken pita warm with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
