Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets, about 1/2-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Mix oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Season both sides of chicken evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pan-fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Warm pita bread directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side.

  6. Step 6

    Slice cooked chicken into 1/2-inch strips.

  7. Step 7

    Spread tzatziki inside each pita, add chicken, tomato, and onion, then serve immediately.
