Easy Tzatziki Chicken Pita Tacos Recipe

These tacos feature marinated grilled chicken served in soft pita bread, topped with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt and pepper to taste
4 pita breads
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
Feta cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Reserve half of the tzatziki sauce for serving. Add the chicken breasts to the remaining marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Pita: Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until soft.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken in the center of each pita. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous spoonful of the reserved tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm.
