Preparation

Step 1

For the marinade, combine vinegar, oil, parsley, thyme, oregano, and lemon juice; reserve 1/4 cup for onions and tomatoes.

Halve chicken breasts horizontally and place in a large bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and chill 30 minutes.

For the sauce, puree cucumber, yogurt, dill, garlic, and salt in a food processor; cover and chill.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil and place a piece of foil on one side of the grill.

Toss onions and tomatoes with reserved 1/4 cup marinade; transfer to foil on grill.

Grill onions and tomatoes, covered, 4 minutes. Grill chicken, covered until and instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165F, 2-3 minutes per side.

Transfer onions and tomatoes to a plate and chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice chicken into strips.

Spread 2 Tbsp sauce in each pita pocket, then fill each with lettuce, onions and tomatoes, chicken, and feta.
