GREEK GRILLED CHICKEN PITA RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING



Greek Grilled Chicken Pita Recipe | Southern Living image

Ever asked yourself, “What can I do with this chicken?” Sister, you’re not alone. We’ve all blank-stared into the fridge, a package of nondescript chicken breasts staring back at us. We’ve baked ’em, fried ’em, stuffed ’em—all in search of “something different” to do with them. Here’s an idea: Go Greek. More specifically, go for a Greek chicken pita pocket. It’s kind of a sandwich but worlds away from predictable deli meat and white bread. First, the chicken breasts chill overnight in a marinade of olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper. Then they’re grilled, drizzled with lemon juice, sliced, and tucked into a warm pita pocket, along with tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. (For the uninitiated, tzatziki is popular in the Mediterranean and Middle East. It’s a blend of yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs.) Serve our Greek chicken pita recipe with chips and fresh fruit for a very high yum factor—and no more staring blankly into the fridge.

1/4 cup olive oil
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 1 Tbsp.)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon), divided
4 (8-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Rest 5 minutes or up to 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch slices.
  • While chicken rests, place pita rounds on unoiled grates. Grill, uncovered, over medium-high until warmed and slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill; spread 2 tablespoons tzatziki over each pita.
