Ingredients

• 4 tbsp Noshejan Peak Greek Technique + extra for topping
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1 shallot, halved & thinly sliced
• 6 pita bread rounds, warmed
• Tzatziki
• 1 cup crumbled feta

Instructions

Combine Noshejan Peak Greek Technique, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and yogurt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until the marinade is smooth. Add the chicken and coat each thigh completely. Cover and marinate for at least one hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 425°.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a lined baking sheet. Cook for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then cut it into strips.

In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, and shallots, mixing well.

Spread tzatziki down the center of each pita bread. Divide the meat evenly among each warm pita bread and place it along the center on top of the tzatziki. Top with tomato mixture and feta.
