Mediterranean Chicken Tacos     

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice plus zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 pitas or tortillas
1 cup Persian cucumbers, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 lemon, juice
Salt and pepper
Tzatziki

Preparation:
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice & zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 30-45 minutes.

Meanwhile, prep the Mediterranean salsa for the tacos by combining cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, feta cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Prepare Tzatziki.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once nice and hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, releasing naturally from the pan. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Warm the pitas so they are soft and don’t break. This can be down on a griddle with a touch of cooking spray. Top each pita with chicken, Mediterranean salsa, and a dollop of tzatziki.
