• 4 chicken breasts, pounded to ½ inch thickness

• 1 tablespoon mediterranean seasoning (you can substitute Italian seasoning in a pinch)

• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced

• ½ red onion, thinly sliced

• optional: lettuce, feta cheese crumbles

tzatziki sauce

• ½ English cucumber, peeled and diced

• ⅓ cup chopped dill, fresh or frozen (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill)

• 1½ Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of ½ medium lemon)

• ½ tsp salt, or to taste

• ⅛ tsp black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

• Puree all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Cover and chill until ready to serve. (If you have time, make this a few hours in advance or the night before so that the flavors can marinate)

• Season chicken breasts with mediterranean seasoning. Cook in a large skillet or pan over medium heat 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Cut into strips.

• Lay pitas on a clean surface. Add lettuce, chicken, red pepper strips, and onions. Top with tzatziki sauce and feta (if desired). Fold pita over like a sandwich, or roll it into a “tunnel shape”.
