I love Greek salads!! But sometimes a salad for dinner is just not going to cut it. Enter this recipe. Greek Chicken pitas are the perfect combination of sandwich and salad.

A few things to note about this recipe: If you can grill your chicken, DO IT! If you don’t have time or don’t have a grill you can do one of two things – buy pre-grilled chicken or brown some boneless/skinless chicken in a skillet and slice it. If you are going to grill the chicken, I found it best to marinate the chicken in the Greek dressing to bump up the flavor. Always allow your meat to rest before you slice it. I like to serve the chicken warm in the pita because of the nice contrast from the cold, crisp veggies. And even though this recipe says “pita” i also found it best to use flat-bread as it held up better and had a bit more chew to it. I also like to warm and season my flat-bread by simply brushing it with olive oil and sprinkling it with salt and garlic powder and putting it in a warm oven for a few minutes. All these are just my personal preferences but feel free to do whatever. And if you want to skip the bread entirely, knock yourself out and enjoy a great Greek chicken salad.
