Can I freeze the Greek Chicken Pita Meal Prep?

It's recommended to freeze only the grilled chicken. Store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat before assembling with fresh pita and vegetables.

What can I use instead of tzatziki sauce?

If tzatziki isn't available, plain Greek yogurt mixed with dill and a bit of garlic makes a great substitute.

How can I make the chicken more flavorful?

Consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade for an aromatic twist.

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 whole wheat pita breads
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup tzatziki sauce
Optional: 1/4 cup sliced olives
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Optional: 2 tablespoons capers

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
While chicken marinates, slice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice red onion. Set aside.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Warm pita slightly. Spread tzatziki inside each pita, then layer with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and chicken. Top with feta and optional ingredients.
Serve immediately or store in containers for up to 3 days.

Notes

Marinate the chicken as long as possible for maximum flavor. Always let grilled chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Add red pepper flakes or sun-dried tomatoes to customize flavor.
