Creating Greek Chicken Stuffed Pitas is easy with these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

5. Warm the Pitas: Lightly toast the pita breads in a dry pan or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds until warm.
6. Assemble the Pitas: Fill each pita bread with the marinated chicken, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, red onion, and mixed greens.
7. Add Tzatziki: Top generously with tzatziki sauce before closing the pitas.
