Ingredients

Grilled chicken breast 5 oz
Whole wheat pita bread 1 piece
Tzatziki sauce 3 tbsp
Mixed greens 1 cup

Method

Prepare the grilled chicken. If your chicken breast is not yet grilled, start by seasoning 5 oz of chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Tip: Resting the chicken after grilling keeps it juicy and tender.
Warm the pita bread. Warm the whole wheat pita bread by placing it on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, or wrap it in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Warming makes the pita soft and easier to fold.
Tip: Avoid overheating the pita to prevent it from becoming too crispy and hard to fold.
Prepare the mixed greens. Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold running water. Use a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures the pita doesn’t get soggy.
Tip: Dry greens are essential to keep the pita bread from becoming soggy.
Assemble the pita. Cut the warmed pita bread in half to create pockets. Spread 3 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce inside each pita half. Fill with the grilled chicken strips and then add 1 cup of mixed greens on top. Fold gently and serve immediately.
Tip: Add the tzatziki first to create a moisture barrier that keeps the pita soft.

Pro tips

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is safely cooked to 165°F (74°C).
If you want extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice, garlic, and oregano before grilling.
