- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes on a cutting board before slicing it into thin strips.
- Warm pita bread (or flatbread) in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- To serve, top the pita with the tzatziki sauce, sliced chicken, mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
- Wrap in foil and serve. Enjoy.
