This recipe, featuring fresh vegetables, seasoned chicken, and a creamy yogurt sauce, guarantees Mediterranean flavors. It's easy to make, yet satisfying and healthy, a dish the whole family will love. Ideal when you crave something fast and tasty on weekdays.

Steps

Prepare Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, for the flavors to meld.

Sauce & Vegetables

Prepare the yogurt sauce: grate half of the cucumber, squeeze out excess water, then mix it with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate. Slice the tomatoes, remaining cucumber, and red onion thinly or dice them. Prepare the lettuce leaves.

Cook Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Meanwhile, warm the pita breads in a dry skillet, oven, or toaster for 1-2 minutes until slightly soft and puffed up.

Assemble Sandwich

Cut open the warm pita breads at the top to create a pocket. Fill each pita with lettuce leaves, cooked chicken strips, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle generously with the cold yogurt sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
