Combining perfectly seasoned chicken with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, feta and topped with creamy basil vinaigrette and Greek yogurt crema, this pita will definitely become one of your favorites. This Greek Chicken Fajita Pita is the best of a fajita, in a pita.

3 greek chicken fajita pitas with towel and herbs

This recipe starts with coating the chicken with olive oil, combining simple, but flavorful spices to create a Greek flavor inspired rub to season the chicken, and then baking the chicken until it is juicy and tender. While the chicken is cooking, we then chop fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and red onion. All of these ingredients together make for the best of fajitas in a pita.

What really make this pita great, is the layers of flavor that happen when you then top the chicken and vegetables with the Basil Vinaigrette and Greek Yogurt Crema. I can't tell you anymore about how delicious this is--you just have to try it for yourself. We made this on Monday when we shot the video and photos, and after looking at all the photos, I am going to make it again right now.
