Lemon-garlic Chicken Pitas With Feta Tzatziki & Roasted Bell Peppers

6.0

⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt

¼ cup olive oil

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

6 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 shallots, finely chopped

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 large bell peppers, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 ounces feta cheese

¼ + ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (divided)

2 garlic cloves, grated

Juice of 1 lemon

1–2 Persian cucumbers, shredded and squeezed dry

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

6 warmed pitas

Pickled red onions

Lettuce, fresh dill, and parsley for garnish

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, paprika, oregano, and pepper flakes. Coat chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread sliced bell peppers on a sheet pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 18–20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Place marinated chicken on another pan and bake for 15 minutes. Stir, then cook another 5–10 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
Switch to broil and cook chicken for 1–2 minutes to lightly char the edges.
Blend feta, ¼ cup yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in remaining yogurt, cucumber, salt, and optional pepper flakes.
Warm pitas, spread tzatziki inside, add lettuce, chicken, roasted peppers, and pickled onions. Top with fresh herbs and extra sauce.
