Grilled Greek Chicken Pitas

greek chicken pitas

These Grilled Greek Chicken Pitas are so healthy and refreshing! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and can be grilled up in no time! I filled my pitas with the chicken, my homemade tzatziki sauce, hummus, arugula, red onion, tomato, and feta cheese. The variations of fillings you can put in these is endless!

I often make these for my lunches because they are so easy to assemble! I just put my chicken in a separate container to heat it up later and then my pita and other toppings in another.

Reasons to Love These Pitas

  • Prep Ahead of Time: You can easily cook the chicken and prep your pitas & fillings for the next few days to enjoy!
  • Quick & Easy: These are so quick to throw together and you can mix and match the fillings with whatever ingredients you have on hand!
  • Macros: The chicken is very low calorie, high protein, and low carb! There are only 192 calories for 4 ounces of chicken and 35 grams of protein!

Nutritional Benefits

  • Chicken: Chicken is low in calories and high in protein! It is a good source of Vitamin B12 and choline, which is essential for brain development and function. It can help with weight management and decrease your chance of heart disease.
  • Feta Cheese: If you decide to add feta cheese in your bowls (highly recommend), feta contains lots of calcium and probiotics (bone & gut health!).
  • Tzatziki Sauce: My homemade tzatziki sauce is full of protein, probiotics and is extremely hydrating thanks to the cucumbers!

Ingredients

  • Chicken - 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or your favorite type of chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
  • Mediterranean Seasoning - 1 tablespoon of all purpose Mediterranean Seasoning - I used Za'atar Seasoning.
  • Lemon Pepper - 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
  • Garlic Salt - 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Garlic Powder - 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Onion Powder - 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Olive Oil - A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to cook your chicken.
  • Pita bread - I used the Joseph’s flax, oat bran, & whole wheat pita bread - These are only 60 calories each with 6 grams of protein! You can find it on Amazon here!

How To Store Leftovers

You can store your leftovers that in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep your chicken separate from your pita bread & cold ingredients for reheating purposes! I use a meal prep container with multiple slots to keep everything fresh such as these. When you are ready to enjoy a Greek pita again, warm up the chicken in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or so.
