Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 whole wheat pitas
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a vibrant marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken cooks, dice the cucumber and chop the tomatoes. Prepare your spinach and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few moments before slicing it into strips. Cut the pitas in half and fill each pocket with a layer of spinach, followed by the chicken strips, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce.
Arrange your stuffed pitas on a platter, and they are ready to be enjoyed.
