Chicken Pitas are a fresh and flavorful handheld meal featuring marinated grilled chicken, crisp vegetables, and creamy sauces tucked into warm pita bread — perfect for lunch, dinner, or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 4–6 pita breads

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup crumbled feta

  • Lettuce or greens

  • Tzatziki, hummus, or garlic sauce (for serving)

  • Fresh parsley or mint (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes.

  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Cook chicken 3–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Rest, then slice.

  • Warm pita bread. Fill each with sauce, chicken, vegetables, and feta.

  • Garnish with herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. Swap pita for lettuce wraps or flatbread. Double the batch for meal prep or parties.
