Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large lemon, juiced and zested
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 large English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
  • 4-6 warm pita breads

Equipment

  • 1 Large Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • 2 Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the bell peppers and red onion on a large baking sheet. Add the marinated chicken, arranging everything in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  3. While the chicken bakes, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Season with salt and stir to combine.
  4. Warm the pitas. Spread tzatziki inside each pita and fill with the roasted chicken and vegetables. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Don't crowd the pan! Use a large sheet pan to ensure the ingredients roast instead of steam.
Tip 2: Squeeze all excess moisture from the grated cucumber for a thick, creamy tzatziki sauce.
Tip 3: For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
