CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 6
- 6-8 Chicken Thighs
- Olive Oil
- Seasoned Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 6-8 Pita Breads
- 3 Roma Tomatoes, sliced
- 1 Red Onion, Sliced thinly
- Green Onion, sliced thinly (opt)
- Parsley, roughly chopped (opt)
- Tzaziki Sauce:
- 1/4 C. Plain Yogurt
- 2 TBLSP. Sour Cream
- 1/4 C. English Cucumber (or regular cucumber), grated and drained thoroughly
- 1 tsp. Garlic, minced finely
- 1 tsp. freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 Lg tsp. fresh Dill
- 1 tsp. dried Marjoram
- 1 tsp. dried Oregano
DIRECTIONS
- Make the Tzaziki sauce first. If you can, make it an hour earlier. The flavors have marinated better by then.
- Drizzle chicken with oil and season with the salt and pepper. Then grill over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. *If you would rather bake it, you may bake the chicken in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Place Pitas in tin foil and place in the grill (or oven) for the last 5 minutes of cooking the chicken, to warm them through and make them pliable.
- When the chicken is fully cooked and ready, let the chicken cool for a few minutes, then shred the chicken up and serve with the pitas, Tzaziki Sauce, tomatoes and onion.
- Mix all of the ingredients together well, place Tzaziki Sauce: in a bowel and place in the fridge, for an hour, or until needed.
