Marinated Chicken Pita Sandwich

Marinated Chicken Pita Sandwich

This chicken pita sandwich is an extremely easy and simple sandwich but very tasty. You do need to marinate the chicken at least 3 hours. I usually do it overnight.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 pocket bread round, cut in half
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • ½ cup plain yogurt

Directions

Step 1
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Add chicken cubes, mix well, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours or overnight.

Step 2
Pour chicken and marinade into a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3
Stuff each half of pita pocket bread with chicken, onion, tomato, and yogurt; serve while still hot.
