Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons lemon zest, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 large tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green bell pepper, cut into rings
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 4 pita bread rounds
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

Method

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, water, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Place cucumber, green pepper, red onion, artichoke hearts, and garlic in a large bowl. Toss salad to distribute evenly. Cut each pita bread round into 4 to 5 slices.
  • Toast pita bread on the preheated grill until slight grill marks appear, about 4 minutes.
  • Place chicken in a grill pan and coat with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pan to the grill.
  • Grill the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Arrange chicken, salad, and pita bread on a serving plate and enjoy sandwich-style or as individual components.
