step 10
Drizzle the onions with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), toss, and set aside. Wrap the Pita Bread (2) in foil.
step 11
When the time for the chicken is almost up, preheat the grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
step 12
To prevent sticking on the grill, use Vegetable Oil (as needed) to oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken breasts on each side for 4 minutes. Place the onions on the grill, and season with a pinch of Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 13
Cook until charred and softened, about 4 minutes. Place the wrapped pita bread on the grill for about 30 seconds, until warmed through.
step 14
Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread a spoonful of the Ladolemono down the center of each warm pita. Arrange the chicken pieces on top, followed by the onions, tomatoes and pepper slices, dividing them equally.
step 15
Season each with a pinch of Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and top with the Arugula (2 3/4 cups) and Olive Oil (1/4 cup).
step 16
Spoon the tzatziki over the arugula and garnish with lemon wedges and serve and enjoy!
