Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts

Marinade:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Filling:

  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 2 English cucumber diced
  • 3 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts chopped
  • ½ cup kalamata olives chopped
  • ½ cup small pepperoni optional
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoncini
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Greek Freak seasoning blend optional, but highly recommended

Dressing:

  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup Mediterranean Rub
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup plain Greek Yogurt

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients and the chicken breasts in a large freezer baggie. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to 350°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 15 minutes. Flip, and continue grilling until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prep the rest of the filling ingredients and prepare the dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients together and shaking until emulsified.
  • Heat your pita pockets so they are soft and pliable.
  • Dice your chicken into bite-sized chunks and toss with the rest of the salad ingredients. Give the mixture a generous dose of the dressing and stuff into the pita pockets. Serve immediately.
