- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For serving
- 6 - 8 Greek Pita Flatbread, homemade or store-bought (recipe follows)

- Diced Roma tomatoes, peeled and diced cucumbers, chopped Romaine lettuce, diced red onions, feta cheese, cilantro and Kalamata olives (olives optional)
Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, chopped red onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, coriander and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
