Grilling chicken is such a simple and easy way to get dinner on the table fast. It sometimes lacks originality and can be boring. Enter in this recipe for Greek Chicken Pitas. The boneless skinless chicken thighs are used to retain their moisture on the grill and get marinated in a super simple marinade of oil, vinegar, and Greek Seasoning. My favorite is Cavender’s.

If you need an awesome spoon I am in love with my Supoon from Dreamfarm pictured below. It has a cool little notch that allows it to rest on my bowl and keep yucky raw chicken germs off my countertop. Here is my affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3i5UknH

After marinating for a bit they get tossed on the grill with large slices of yellow onion.

Chicken and Onions for Greek Chicken Pitas

I love to slice the chicken thinly and serve with the large slices of onion. Then I serve them with pita toppings and fresh pita bread. We pass around shredded romaine lettuce, freshly diced tomato, feta cheese, Homemade Greek Tzatziki, and a few diced dill pickles. Everyone can put as much or as little of their favorite ingredients on their own pita. It’s like your very own Greek Pita Burger Bar.

You can always leave out the pita if you are trying to eat low carb. Or pack these up to go in parchment and foil for a dinner on the road. I like to serve them on their own, but I imagine a few crinkle cuts would be delicious on the side, or possibly going all the way Greek with my recipe for Traditional Greek Salad.
