Directions
- Stir together all of the ingredients for the marinade.
- Add chicken to the marinade, toss to coat, cover tightly, and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to two hours for more added flavor).
- While chicken is marinating, stir together all ingredients for the cucumber salad. Set aside.
- Use tongs to transfer marinated chicken to a preheated cooking surface (grill or skillet) and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side over medium heat until cooked through.
- Arrange the pitas on a plate or clean surface. Assemble the pitas by filling pita bread with lettuce, chicken, cucumber salad, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
- Fold the pita over like a sandwich or roll it up. Enjoy!
