Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the chicken marinade.

4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Cook marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
6. Warm pita breads until soft and flexible.
7. Spread dill yogurt sauce inside each pita bread.
8. Fill pita with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cooked chicken, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of dill yogurt sauce.
10. Fold pita around filling and serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
For extra juicy chicken, marinate for several hours or overnight.
Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for a richer flavor.
Keep ingredients stored separately for the best meal prep results.
Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy version.
The dill yogurt sauce can also be used as a dip for vegetables or grilled meats.
