Lemon Chicken:
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into ½-inch pieces
Quick Tzatziki:
• ¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
Remaining Ingredients:
• 2 pita bread (I recommend Joseph’s Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ cup chopped cucumber
• ½ medium tomato, chopped
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 ounces feta cheese (½ cup)
• ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped, for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Remove the chicken from the bowl and discard the marinade.
3. Spray a large nonstick skillet well with cooking spray, add the chicken and cook until the pieces are completely cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
4. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and dill.
5. Lay the pita bread on a work surface and spread half of the tzatziki on each. Divide the chicken among the pitas, followed by the romaine, cucumber, tomato, feta, a bit of fresh parsley. Fold and serve!
