Description
The Greek Chicken Sandwich is a fresh and flavorful meal that combines marinated chicken, crunchy vegetables, and creamy tzatziki sauce, all served in a whole grain pita or sourdough bread. This recipe focuses on efficiency and balanced nutrition while offering great taste.
Ingredients
2 large Chicken Breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of 1/2 Lemo
1 teaspoon Honey
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 cup Greek Yogurt, plain and full-fat
1/2 Cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
4 Whole Grain Pitas or Sourdough slices
1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and oregano. Place chicken cutlets in a container, pour marinade over, and let sit for at least 15 minutes
- Prepare the Tzatziki: Grate cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. Mix with Greek yogurt, a splash of olive oil, and a pinch of salt
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a teaspoon of oil. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Alternatively, air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes
- Toast the Bread: Briefly toast pita or sourdough slices
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread tzatziki on the bread, layer with chicken, red onions, cucumbers, olives, and feta
- Slice and Serve: Cut sandwich in half and serve immediately
Notes
Ensure the cucumber is properly drained to avoid a watery tzatziki.
Let the cooked chicken rest before slicing for better moisture retention.
