This chicken pita sandwich is an extremely easy and simple sandwich but very tasty. You do need to marinate the chicken at least 3 hours. I usually do it overnight.

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 pocket bread round, cut in half
1 small onion, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
½ cup plain yogurt

Directions

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Add chicken cubes, mix well, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours or overnight.
Pour chicken and marinade into a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Stuff each half of pita pocket bread with chicken, onion, tomato, and yogurt; serve while still hot.
