Now that Eric and I have been working home for over a year, we have started to rely on a pretty delicious rotation of recipes for our weekday lunches. These Greek-Inspired Chicken Pitas are the perfect weekday lunch! Oregano, lemon, and Greek Yogurt help to flavor the chicken in this healthy and easy greek chicken pita recipe.
This dish is easily made on a stovetop and comes together fairly quickly. Make your marinade and place the chicken in the fridge in the morning and your chicken pita will be ready by lunch! If you want, you could make the Greek chicken and serve it over a salad, or make a rice bowl. I love making a Greek bowl with rice, village salad (chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, feta, a little olive oil, s+p), chicken, hummus, and hot sauce!
Do you like Mediterranean food? If so, you should definitely check out my Falafel recipe ! You could easily make these chicken pitas for dinner and serve my falafel as an appetizer along with some homemade hummus for a Mediterranean-inspired evening! It’s much easier to eat healthy (and to enjoy it) when there are plentiful, colorful options available!
