You’ll love the Mediterranean flavors of these chicken pitas with Green Goddess Seasoning full of bright herbs and zesty onion.

Ingredients

¼ cup (60 mL) Greek yogurt
2 tbsp (30 mL) Green Goddess Seasoning Mix
1½ lbs. (700 g) chicken breast cutlets
6 pitas
2 tsp (10 mL) oil
6 romaine lettuce leaves
½ seedless cucumber, finely chopped (about 1 cup/250 mL)
¼ cup (60 mL) red onion, thinly sliced
2 small plum tomatoes, cut into chunks
½ cup (125 mL) feta cheese crumbles
½ cup (125 mL) Kalamata olives, pitted

¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) Green Goddess Seasoning Mix
1 tsp (5 mL) honey
1½ tbsp (22 mL) white wine vinegar

Directions

Combine the yogurt and seasoning in a medium bowl and whisk to incorporate. Add the chicken and use tongs to coat. Set aside.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl; set aside
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pitas on a baking sheet.
Heat the oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Working in batches, grill the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Place the baking sheet with the pitas in the oven and immediately turn off the oven. Let the pitas warm in the oven while chicken rests, about 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken against the grain into thin slices.
To assemble, fill each pita with sliced chicken, a piece of romaine, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, feta, and olives. Drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the dressing.

Cook's Tips:

Simple Salad: To make this a salad, omit the pita and serve on top of chopped romaine lettuce.

Sandwich Style: Instead of a pita, you can serve this on your favorite sandwich bread. Just slice the tomatoes and cucumber and serve it as-is, or toast it for a few minutes in an air fryer!
