Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
-
In the meantime, prepare the fresh vegetables. Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the pitas. Cut the warm pitas in half to create pockets. Stuff each pita half with a generous amount of cooked chicken slices.
-
Top the chicken with cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
-
Garnish the pitas with fresh parsley leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
-
Serve the Cucumber Chicken Pitas warm and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
