Notes
- Low carb option: omit the pita bread and serve the chicken salad on lettuce leaves to make this recipe low carb. One cup of the chicken salad contains 5 grams of carbs.
- Cooking the chicken: if grilling or roasting the chicken at home, I recommend tossing one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Once the chicken is seasoned you can grill it over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or roast it in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Make ahead: if making the salad ahead of time, I recommend waiting to add the feta cheese until right before serving the salad. The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
