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.

Total Time 1 hours 25 minutes

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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
6 (8-in.) pita rounds
3/4 cup refrigerated tzatziki
6 romaine lettuce leaves (from 1 small head)
1 1/2 cups multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

Steps:

Stir together oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add chicken, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place on unoiled grates. Grill, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of meat registers 165°F, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; drizzle with lemon juice. 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.
Divide lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and sliced chicken evenly among pitas.

GRILLED CHICKEN PITAS WITH SESAME DRIZZLE RECIPE | COOKING ...

Look for jars or cans of tahini on the international aisle of the supermarket. It adds nutty flavor and keeps the sandwich moist. Tahini is the stuff of life in Israel, like olive oil in Italy or butter in France. It's nutty and rich, with a slightly bitter finish and an unctuous mouthfeel akin to peanut butter. Look for tahini that's well blended (little to no separation). Refrigerate after opening, and stir well before you measure. Be patient. It may take a few minutes of stirring. If you can't find any tahini, substitute peanut butter. It's sweeter than tahini, but it will work in a pinch.

Combine tahini, 2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and garlic in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Add pitas to pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until lightly toasted. Slice chicken thinly across the grain. Combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining 2 teaspoons juice in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add lettuce; toss to coat. Divide lettuce mixture, chicken, and bell peppers evenly among pita halves; drizzle each stuffed pita half with about 1 1/2 teaspoons tahini mixture.
