Chef's Tips
For extra flavour, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
If you don't have fresh dill, a pinch of dried dill can be used in the tzatziki, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavour.
You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the roasted chicken and vegetables before serving for a brighter taste.
Prepare Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Dice the chicken breast into 2 cm pieces. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the courgette and red pepper into similar-sized pieces. For the tzatziki, grate the cucumber and finely mince the garlic. Finely chop the fresh dill.
Season the Chicken & Vegetables
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, sliced red onion, diced courgette, and diced red pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
Roast on Sheet Pan
Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Make the Tzatziki
While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the tzatziki. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, the chopped fresh dill, and the juice of the whole lemon. Stir well to combine.
Warm the Pita Bread
Warm the pita bread according to package instructions, either in the oven during the last few minutes of cooking or in a toaster.
Assemble the Pitas
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Halve the cherry tomatoes and crumble the feta cheese.
Serve & Garnish
To assemble, spread a generous amount of tzatziki inside each warm pita. Fill with the roasted chicken and vegetables, then add the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with the fresh dill.
