- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of crushed red pepper, to taste in a Ziploc bag. Add the chicken breasts and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from the ziplock bag and place on a plate. Season both sides with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Preheat a grill pan that has been coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken in the grill pan and cook for 8-10 minutes before flipping over and cooking for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes on a cutting board before slicing into thin strips.
- Warm your pita bread in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Top the pita with the tzatziki sauce, sliced chicken, mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Wrap in tin foil and serve. Enjoy.
