Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

• Pita bread - 2 pieces
• Cucumber - 1/2, diced for tzatziki
• Greek yogurt - 150 grams

• Fresh tomatoes - 1, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
