Marinate the Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chunks of chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, ideally for 30-45 minutes.
Prepare the Cucumber Salsa
- In a separate bowl, combine chopped Persian cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and red onion. Toss in chopped parsley and crumbled feta, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently and let sit.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Warm the Pitas
- While the chicken is cooking, warm the whole wheat pitas on a griddle or skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side until soft.
Assemble the Tacos
- Once the chicken is cooked and pitas are warm, place a portion of chicken inside each pita, followed by the cucumber salsa and a dollop of tzatziki.

Notes
Prepare the marinade and the salsa in advance to simplify weeknight cooking. Assemble tacos just before serving for best taste and texture.
