Mediterranean Chicken Pita Pockets

Mediterranean Chicken Pita Pockets are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day. This dish is perfect for those who are looking for a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor and nutrition. The key ingredients in this dish are chicken, pita bread, and a variety of Mediterranean spices and vegetables.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pita breads
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pita pockets. Cut each pita bread in half and gently open the pocket. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
To assemble the pita pockets, spread a spoonful of the yogurt mixture inside each pita pocket. Fill each pocket with a few slices of chicken, some chopped vegetables, and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
These Mediterranean Chicken Pita Pockets are a perfect combination of savory and fresh flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the vegetables and herbs add a bright and refreshing crunch. The creamy yogurt sauce ties everything together and adds a tangy kick. This dish is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and can be easily customized to your liking.
