Souvlaki Chicken Pitas with Dill Tzatziki
This is the sandwich we crave the moment the days turn long — herby marinated chicken tucked into warm pita with cool, tangy tzatziki. It's bright, fresh, and comes together on a weeknight, with the dill and lemon doing all the heavy lifting.
By North Conway Olive Oil Company
Ingredient Spotlight. Our Wild Dill Infused Olive Oil carries a clean, grassy, feathery-dill aroma that flatters both the chicken and the yogurt sauce. A splash of Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar — sunny and lightly sweet — brightens the marinade without staining a thing.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless chicken breast, cubed
- ⅓ cup Wild Dill Infused Olive Oil (divided) · 2 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice · 1 tsp oregano · 1 tsp dried parsley · salt and pepper
- 2 tomatoes, cubed and lightly salted · feta cheese · warm pitas · fresh dill
- Tzatziki: 1 cup Greek yogurt · 1 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry · 1 Tbsp Wild Dill oil · 2 tsp Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic · 1 Tbsp lemon juice · salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bag, combine the chicken with ¼ cup Wild Dill oil, the Sicilian Lemon balsamic, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Marinate at least 30 minutes.
- For the tzatziki, whisk the yogurt, squeezed cucumber, Wild Dill oil, balsamic, lemon juice, and seasoning. Chill.
- Sear the chicken in a hot cast-iron pan, 4–5 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Drain any liquid and drizzle with a little more Wild Dill oil.
- Warm the pitas. Fill with chicken, tomatoes, and crumbled feta, then spoon on the tzatziki. Finish with a raw drizzle of Wild Dill oil and fresh dill.
Chef's Notes
- Squeeze the grated cucumber hard — dry cucumber keeps the sauce thick.
- A cast-iron pan gives the chicken those deep, caramelized edges.
