About the Recipe

Ingredients

🧄 Ingredients:


For the Chicken Marinade:


  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (optional)

  • 2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper


For Serving:


  • Warm pita bread

  • Tzatziki sauce

  • Sliced red onion

  • Chopped tomatoes

  • Shredded lettuce or cucumber (optional)

  • Crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Preparation

🔥 Instructions:


1. Marinate the Chicken


  • In a large bowl or ziplock bag, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  • Add chicken pieces, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).


2. Skewer and Grill


  • Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.

  • Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely charred and cooked through.(You can also broil or pan-fry if you don’t have a grill.)


3. Serve


  • Stuff grilled chicken into warm pita with tzatziki, onion, tomato, and other toppings.

  • Serve as wraps, on a platter, or with a side of rice and salad.


Tips:


  • Use metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers.

  • For added flavor, sprinkle extra oregano and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

  • Great with lemon potatoes or Greek salad on the side.
