Greek Chicken Pitas with Tzatziki Sauce

If you like Greek food you will love this easy meal.  You can make the chicken the day before and let it marinate over night, or you can just let it marinate for about 30 mins.  You can add whatever toppings you like.  If you don't want to use pita bread, you can make this into a Greek chicken salad.

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:
2 Tbsp fresh chopped dill
1 Tbsp garlic
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch bit size pieces.

Tzatziki Sauce:
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced into small pieces
2 Tbsp fresh chopped dill
1 (8 oz) container plain greek yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (to your taste)
pinch of salt and pepper

Toppings:
Pita bread
chopped tomatoes
chopped onions
lettuce
Feta cheese


Directions:
1)  In a large bowl whisk together all of the marinade ingredients except the chicken.  Add the chicken and toss to coat.  Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 30 mins or up to overnight.

2)While you are waiting for the chicken, make the Tzatziki sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl.  You can also chop up your toppings and set aside.  Preheat the oven to 350 for the pitas.

3)  When the chicken is ready, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add chicken.  Cook 10-12 mins, until chicken is cooked through.   While chicken is cooking, brush both sides of the pita bread with a little olive oil and bake in the oven 2 mins, then flip the pitas over and cook 2 more mins.

4)  Serve on a pita and top with the sauce and whatever toppings you choose.
