Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 6 fresh pitas or naan warmed,
  • pickled red onion, lettuce, dill, and parsley for serving
  • FETA TZATZIKI
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • ¼ cup + ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1-2 Persian cucumbers, shredded
  • kosher salt
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, cubed chicken, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, paprika, oregano, chili flakes, and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, toss and bake another 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Switch the oven to broil. Broil 1-2 minutes, until the chicken chars on the edges (watch carefully)
  3. Meanwhile, make the Tzatziki. Combine the feta, ¼ cup yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice in a blender and blend until creamy. Stir in ⅓ cup more yogurt, the cucumbers, and a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes.
  4. To assemble, stuff/spread each pita with tzatziki, then lettuce, and chicken. Add red onions and herbs. Drizzle over more tzatziki and if desired, harissa (recipe in notes).
