This recipe is inspired by the wonderful Greek food found in Astoria, Queens. It is a fantastic option for those busy weeknights when you want something satisfying but do not have hours to spend cooking in the kitchen.

The secret here is using high quality breaded chicken strips to save time while still getting that perfect crunch. The combination of cool cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and creamy tzatziki makes every bite feel like a treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 package breaded chicken breast strips
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package instructions for the chicken strips.

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken strips until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    While the chicken is cooking, toss the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion in a small bowl with a little olive oil and parsley.

  4. 4

    Warm the pita breads in the oven or on the stove for a minute or two until they are soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki onto each pita.

  6. 6

    Add a few crispy chicken strips to the center of each pita and top with the fresh cucumber and tomato salad.

  7. 7

    Fold the pitas and serve them warm.

💡 Tips

You can store leftover chicken and veggies separately in the fridge for up to two days. If you like a little extra zing, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
