7. Warm the pita bread until soft and pliable.

Notes
Marinate the chicken for 2 to 4 hours for even more flavor.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness.
Serve with Greek lemon rice, roasted potatoes, or couscous for a complete Mediterranean meal.
Assemble the platter just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Store leftover chicken separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
