Preparation

Step 1

Coat a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine the chicken, oil, oregano, and pepper. Place on the pan and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the tickest portion registers 160 and the juices run clear. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thin slices.

Meanwhile, toast the pitas. With the tip of a knife, cut an opening in one side of each pita. Fill each pita with 1/4 c. romaine, 2 tbsp tomato, 2 tbsp onion. 1 tbsp feta, and one-fourths of the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, and garlic and spoon over the chicken.
