Lemon-Garlic Chicken Pitas with Feta Tzatziki and Roasted Bell Peppers

Tender lemon-garlic marinated chicken with feta tzatziki sauce, roasted bell peppers, fresh cucumber, kalamata olives, and feta, served in warm pitas for a flavorful Middle Eastern-inspired meal.[1][3]

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into very thin strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2–3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pita breads for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix chicken with grated garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate for 30 minutes.[1]
  2. Toss sliced bell peppers with olive oil and salt on a sheet pan. Spread marinated chicken on a second sheet pan. Roast both for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and peppers are browned and tender.[1]
  3. While roasting, mix tzatziki: combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, diced cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Serve chicken, roasted peppers, tzatziki, olives, and feta in warm pita breads.[1][3]

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Use thin chicken strips for quick cooking. Customize with extra veggies like tomatoes or onions. Great for meal prep and freezes well.[1]
