  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Marinate chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare Creamy Feta Tzatziki: Combine Greek yogurt, feta cheese, dill, mint, garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. Cook chicken in a skillet or grill pan until browned and cooked through (6-8 minutes).
  4. Warm the pita breads.
