Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken breast and coat it well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Chicken Colossal

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, chop the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Pita

    Take a piece of pita bread and layer it with sliced chicken, lettuce, chopped tomato, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Finally, drizzle tzatziki sauce on top.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
