Ingredients
  

For the chicken and veggies

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into squares or slices
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into squares or sliced

For the marinade

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional (but highly recommended) garnishes

  • Sliced kalamata olives
  • Crumbled feta cheese
  • Tzatziki

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Place the chicken cubes into a large bowl or ziploc bag.
  • Next, cut up the peppers, red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add to the bowl or bag with the diced chicken.
  • Next, mix up the marinade in a jar or small bowl. Pour over the chicken and veggies and give it a quick toss so that everything is coated above).
  • At this point you can either place the mixture in the fridge to marinate for a bit (I like to marinate it for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse) or cook it right away.
  • If you’re really pressed for time, dump the mixture on a baking sheet and cook it right away for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chicken and veggies halfway through so that they get equal cooking on both sides.
  • Serve on a pita with tzatziki and a sprinkle of sliced olives and feta cheese, if desired (or see additional serving options in post above).

Notes

  • For extra flavorful pitas, it helps to marinate the chicken and veggies in the Greek marinade for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
