1 lb chicken breast A lean protein that will absorb all those delicious Mediterranean flavors.
2.5 tbsp olive oil Adds richness and helps marinate the chicken to keep it moist on the grill.
2.5 tbsp lemon juice A bright acidity that tenderizes the chicken and enhances the flavors.
4 cloves garlic Fresh garlic brings a robust flavor that partners beautifully with the chicken.
1 tbsp oregano Dried oregano adds an aromatic herbal note, essential for that Mediterranean taste.
1 tbsp paprika Gives a mild sweetness and vibrant color to your chicken.
1 tbsp salt Enhances all the flavors and ensures the chicken is flavorful.
0.5 tbsp black pepper Freshly cracked pepper adds a bit of heat for balance.
0.5 tsp red pepper flakes Perfect for those who enjoy a little kick in their tacos!

1.25 cups cucumbers Adds a refreshing crunch, perfect for balancing the grilled flavors.
1 cup tomatoes Juicy tomatoes bring sweetness and moisture to the salsa mix.
1 cup bell pepper Adds a colorful, crisp texture to each bite of your tacos.
0.25 cup red onion Offers a bit of sharpness, complementing the other fresh ingredients.
2 tbsp parsley Fresh parsley brightens the salsa, adding a pop of green freshness.
1 tbsp lemon juice A squeeze of lemon for brightness in every bite.

0.75 cup feta Creamy and salty, crumbled feta adds a rich, tangy finish to your tacos.
8 pieces pitas Soft and warm pitas are the perfect vehicle for all this deliciousness.
1 cup tzatziki Creamy and cooling, this classic yogurt sauce elevates your Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Tacos.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add chicken breast, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those zesty flavors.
Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion. In a bowl, mix these veggies with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is beautifully charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken rests, warm pitas on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they're soft and slightly toasted.
Slice the grilled chicken and place it inside each pita. Top with fresh salsa, sprinkle with crumbled feta, and drizzle with tzatziki.

Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
