Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten the chicken breast fillets gently with a meat mallet for even cooking.

2

Bread the Chicken

Set up a breading station: Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, dip into eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

3

Cook the Chicken

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken fillets for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a baking sheet and finish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

4

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is baking, slice the onion, tomato, and wash the lettuce.

5

Warm the Pita

In a separate skillet or on a grill, lightly warm the pita bread until soft and pliable.

6

Assemble the Dish

Place a warm pita on a plate. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the sliced onions and tomatoes. Top with the cooked chicken fillet and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

7

Serve

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Santorini Chicken Filet!
