garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp

To Serve
4
whole wheat pitas
1 cup

1/2 cup

1/4 cup
tzatziki sauce

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, dll, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Arrange the chicken in a container and pour over the marinade. Cover the container, and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible.

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once marinated, skewer the meat. Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the pitas.

Serve immediately on pita topped with the arugula, tomatoes, and tzatziki.
