Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1/2 cup cucumbers, sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced chicken breast and ensure it is coated in the marinade. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Notes
Ideal for weeknight dinners or gatherings. Marinate the chicken longer for enhanced flavor. Experiment with spices or use whole wheat pita for a healthier option.
