Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 ½ teaspoons dried dill weed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
6 (6 inch) pita bread rounds
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tomato, diced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • Place Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill weed, 2 cloves garlic, white vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth; set aside.
  • Whisk together 4 cloves minced garlic, juice of 1 lemon, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Stir in chicken strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place chicken on a large baking sheet.
  • Broil the chicken in the preheated oven until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; place each pita bread into the skillet until warm and soft, about 2 minutes per pita.
  • Serve warmed pita bread topped with chicken strips, yogurt sauce, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce.
