1 tbsp onion salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tsp salt

Step 2
Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better, I marinated it for 6 hours.
Step 3
In a large skillet on medium high heat add olive oil, once hot, cook the chicken thighs.
¼ cup olive oil + more for cooking the chicken
Step 4
Cook on one side for 6-8 minutes, flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Continue with all the chicken.
Step 5
Let the chicken cool down slightly before slicing or chopping to serve on the pita sandwiches.
Pita Sandwiches
Step 1
To make the sandwiches, first prepare the "salad'.
Step 2
Prep the veggies by thinly slicing the red onion, chopping the cucumber, and cutting the cherry tomatoes in half or quarters.
1 red onion
1 English cucumber
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Step 3
Add all the veggies to a large bowl along with all the seasonings, the lemon juice, olive oil and parsley. Mix to combine.

1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup parsley, chopped
Step 4
At the very end mix in the feta cheese so that it doesn't break down even more.
1 cup feta, crumbled
Step 5
To start assembling the sandwiches, warm up each pita on a hot skillet for 30 seconds per side, I like to spray them with a little bit of cooking oil so they get slightly crisp.

Step 6
Start by spreading a thin layer of hummus on the pita, then a layer of tzatziki, the chicken and the cucumber feta salad.
