Ingredients

Greek Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm up for about a minute.
  2. Season the chicken: In a bowl, evenly coat the chicken breasts with dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook the chicken: Lay the chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a golden-brown color.
  4. Slice the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips for serving.
  5. Warm the pita bread: If desired, gently warm the pita breads in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the plates: Arrange the sliced chicken, pita bread, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and tzatziki sauce on each plate.
  7. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the plates and serve immediately for a vibrant, delicious meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try grilling the chicken instead of pan-searing.
  • Complement the plates with sides such as hummus or olives for more variety.
  • Store the chicken, vegetables, and pita separately if preparing in advance to maintain freshness.
