Chopped Greek Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), preferably organic
• 1/4 cup olive oil, use high-quality extra virgin
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 whole wheat pita breads (or gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; for best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Chop the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
5. Assemble the Sandwich: Warm pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes. Stuff each pita with chopped chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
6. Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm! Serve with extra tzatziki and optional sides.
